@ReddyMom it was a number of years ago but I don’t remember if there was any communication before July - other than to say when interviews for semi-finalists would be. I know there was a date given for phone calls.

The finalist interview period this year is 6/18 to 8/17. I think we only heard from a week or so before the interview, but that was back in the Dark Ages [D was CDB 05]. Semifinalist was based solely on the application/test scores/recommendation/etc.
Thank you everyone for your response…
Have the finalist for the Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship been notified yet?
Not sure… I did email them yesterday, but didn’t get any feedback. Not sure if anyone heard from them or not
Let’s try this question. If any past CDB finalists are watching, how much notice get you get of a finalist interview?
As I indicated above, I believe we only heard a week or so in advance, but that was a fair number of years ago. Given that the interview period does not start until 6/18, perhaps more recent information would help those with current applications.
And good luck to all of you by the way,
Following as we are wondering the same and waiting for good news as well.
I did get a reply from them - All applicants will receive notice of their status by the end of next week.
Thanks for sharing the update.
Thank you for the update
Hello, my child just received an email asking her to call the CDB manager on Monday morning. Not sure what this means. Does that indicate she may be a finalist?
I think they have contacted all applicants to start the conversations. My guess is over the next couple of months they will start filtering applicants to identify the finalists. Let’s see what others have to say.
Thank you, sankri. So I take it that your child received the same email from Ms. Raskin asking to call her back ASAP? Seems odd that she would want all applicants, numbering several hundred, to call her — but then again, I have no idea how the process works. I had thought that, at this point in the process, you’re either getting an interview (as a finalist) or you’re not.
Yes we got the same email. Not sure of the process either. May be this is the start of their interview process.
Hello. I applied for the scholarship and received the same email. I called Bonnie Raskin today and she told me that I was a finalist and found a date that I could be interviewed by the CDB Selection Committee in July so if you received an email from Ms. Raskin, then your child is a finalist. Congrats!
Best wishes to all of you. It is a wonderful program – not just because of the financial benefits of the scholarship.
First, congratulations to those who advanced to the final round. Second, I am wondering if someone can tell me what semi finalist meant for this CDB. Does everyone get this title except that they advance to the final round?
Do we know how many finalists are there currently?
Also, what is the criteria for chosing the scholarship receipients from here on?
