I actually just got back from the chancellors interview weekend as well. I thought it went really well, and we apparantly receive notification mid march. Patiently waiting!
TCU Chancellor’s Scholar Weekend was an amazing experience. For anyone who attends, the school really tries to make you feel as comfortable as possible because they understand how nervewracking the interviews can be.
As far as I understand, your academics only get you as far as the invitation. This was extremely reassuring when you’re competing with some of the brightest students in the country! They pick each individual for a special reason. They truly just want to see you be you.
We are still waiting to hear, also. The post above said it came FedEx overnight. We were told it would be via US mail. Maybe I need to check the front porch instead of the mailbox. Good luck to all.
If they were all sent out the same day FedEx overnight - then technically everyone should have been notified . Hoping that’s not the case - Fingers still crossed - my son really wants to attend! Good luck to all !!
FedEx just rang my door bell - a nice FedEx envelope - asked son if I could open - YES!!! He is officially a Chancellor Scholar - Happy family in Houston :
Congratulations to @Arequipa and @momoftres! That is fantastic news!!! We are still waiting to hear about music scholarship to see if TCU is a possibility! The Dean’s scholarship is just not enough with additional help. Still holding our breath for good news!

Hi everyone!! I also received a FedEX letter today BUT I did not get Chancellors… instead, they increased my scholarship from Deans (21000/yr) to Provost (35000/yr)!! I am so thankful for the opportunity to interview and congrats to all that received Chancellors!!
Hi everyone, I got the packet yesterday morning, and I got through with Chancellor’s Scholarship! In the packet they have asked me to go onto my.tcu.edu and then to the financial aid section and then follow the instructions to accept the award. The problem is that the award isn’t showing up there. Is anyone else able to accept the award on their MyTCU account?
