Congrats Southern Girl. My son did was not a finalist. What other schools did you apply to and what is your dream school?
I meant to type “my son was not a finalist.”
how do you know he was not a finalist? did you get an email?
yes, it was from Mindy Hart, Recruitment Manager - Honor’s college.
“Thank you for submitting an application for the Beering and Stamps Scholarships. We had a number of highly qualified candidates apply. The decision was not easy, but unfortunately, we are not going to be able to offer you either of the scholarships. As a recipient of a Trustee or Emerging Leader scholarship, you should be very proud of your accomplishments. We hope you choose to become a Boilermaker and look forward to welcoming you in the Purdue Honors College!”

As part of the process, were you also invited to apply for the Beering scholarship?
@GoScience Thank you! There was just one application to be considered for Stamps/Beering. I was contacted after submitting that I was a semifinalist for Stamps, and then I interviewed with the executive director of the Stamps foundation.
Congrats! So awesome. My son just got his acceptance to Notre Dame today.
