@hailtopitt1787 thanks for the update.
@j17456, Yes, there are specific things the Scholarship Committee is looking for. The link I shared above is not working for some reason, so I will re-share here. You can find out a lot of information about the Chancellor’s Scholarship on our site:

@hailtopitt1787 when will we get the interview notification for chancelor’s scholarship
I am not aware of a specific deadline that the Committee gives themselves, but applicants who are invited to apply should hear back soon after submitting the additional requested materials. Applications for the Chancellor’s Scholarship are reviewed continuously as they are submitted.

@hailtopitt1787 I submitted my Chancellor’s scholarship app, but I submitted it 1 hr late. (It is due 3 weeks after your account is activated right? Since I got the letter saying I was eligible to apply, Pitt already activated my account and therefore I only had 2 weeks to actually work on the application) I thought I would get it in in time, but the timer in the application said 3 weeks and 1 hour. However, it still let me submit my application. Is my application completely a waste?
@jumpingstar, You will need to contact the Honors College with questions about your application. I will DM you the email address for the person you should reach out to.
Best of luck!

I was under the understanding that the 3 weeks was from the date of the letter. At least it was that way last year for my D.
If we have not heard about any scholarship yet, is it likely that we will be offered to apply for chancellors? My stats are similar to those who have received the invitation, but I have not heard anything about a scholarship.
@mannysidz, Invites for the Chancellor’s Scholarship are still going out, yes. There is still a chance you will hear. Best of luck!

Anyone hear about interviews yet? Looks like Stamps has set up interviews (based on other thread).
I think they started in Feb last year?
My D got a letter at the end of January last year saying that she would not be advancing.
Still haven’t heard anything about interviews yet! Sent my application in late November / early December.
If you haven’t heard I guess that’s a good sign.
Did you check your email?
Last year some students received invitations to interview in beginning of February via email.
@mommdc I’ve been keeping an eye on it. I saw some in past years have gotten word as early as February 2. Some as late as early March.
Nothing here either. D is getting anxious. Seemed to me last year a lot of people had been invited by now.
Good thing is, no one seems to have heard anything so far. There is still plenty of time, but it is nerve-racking!
@hailtopitt1787 When are you sending out interview notification for chancelor scholarship
@cresent, We just heard back from the Honors College that it should be very soon!

@hailtopitt1787 thanks
@hailtopitt1787, is the release of invitation or rejection for interview of Pitt Chancellor’s Scholarship to all applicants at the same time or batch by batch via email or mail? It seems that a lots of applicants want to know this.
