Cameron Impact Scholarship 2021

Hey! I’m so glad someone started this. I’ve been freaking out about it too! I submitted my app at 3:00 am the day it was due haha. From a thread for past applicants, it seems like finalists are notified first with a phone call, then with an email whereas rejections just get an email. Not sure if that applies for everyone or even for this year though. I don’t think we’ll be finding out until the last week of June regardless since each application has so many parts to review. Crazy low chances even for early applicants to become finalists, but definitely worth the shot! Good luck everyone ( :

i heard recipients of the scholarship get phone calls not finalists

That could be

about 2 and a half weeks of waiting left!

what did you guys write about in your essays?

Some of the big things I wrote about were my relationships with my sisters, work on a magazine and non-profit, and language study (especially personal experiences with international friends, study abroad, and how my state’s language ed laws can be prohibitive). I don’t think knowing what we each wrote about will clue us into anything about the selection or our chances; but, it may help us find people with whom we have some passions in common! So if anyone is into languages and/or animal welfare & writing hmu haha

It seems that last year all applicants who applied for early decision were notified of their status on June 27.

have any of you sent in updates to your application? I was planning on sending one today but idk if its too late

@symere I was gonna do the same thing. It can’t hurt right?

hey y’all actually just made an account because of this thread, you guys think it will come on the 27th? also is it by email, I’m checking the application like multiple times a day.

I feel like if we’re not notified by end of the day today then it’ll come on Tuesday next week, but idk though

lol they pulled a fast one on us its the 27th and i got nothing

Are you saying they notified people yesterday? And if so, how did you find that out?

nah i meant nothing as in no notification

Maybe today!

I guess we’ll hear tomorrow!

just got an email- wasn’t chosen for an interview :frowning:

I haven’t gotten anything yet. What did the email say?

@curlygirl675
It said, “Thank you for taking the time to submit your application for the Cameron Impact Scholarship. We regret to inform you that you have not been selected as a recipient of the award.”
