Woohoo! Admitted with Second Century Scholarship!
Accepted with provost scholarship! $30,000 annually!! Is that a new scholarship?
Second Century Scholarship $20k/year . WOOHOO!
Just got my acceptance through the portal. Does anyone know if potential President’s Scholars are notified through the portal or later through the mail?
same … DS admitted with Provost.
Question: are the Provost scholars still in the hunt for President’s and Hunt Leadership scholarships? Could there be any additional award from the School-Specific programs?
Accepted with a $120,000 scholarship (30k/yr)!!! I am so thrilled and the acceptance letter was so nice to read, it was personalized and explained why I was chosen for the provost scholarship. SMU is definitely moving to the top of my list now. Congrats everyone!!!
@“CalebN.” , excerpt from SMU website regarding President’s award:
"The Selection Process
January 15 Priority Deadline
You are encouraged to submit your completed application by the November 1 deadline, but you must complete and return your Application for Admission by January 15, which is the deadline for priority consideration for most SMU merit scholarships.
February
SMU faculty committees select about 60 finalists to be interviewed.
March
All finalists are invited to campus for personal interviews. Interviews are required for consideration for the President’s Scholar award.
SMU covers all expenses for meals and accommodations during the campus interview process."
So, looks like all notifications will be sent in Febuary.
I’m in with the Provost Scholarship.
anyone know how many people they give the provost scholarship to each year? Im applying for the Hunt Leadership scholarship and wanna get an idea of how competitive I might be. Thanks!
@ syd24ranger I got the Provost Scholarship but not the explanation why. Where did you find yours? And congrats!!
@bogeyorpar What about the honors communities? Do you find out about those with your acceptance letter or later after all applications (early and regular) have been processed?
My son is in with the 30K/year Provost Scholarship [Stats=Texas, 4.0 unweighted, 35 ACT, strong resume]
My daughter is offered admission, but I’m not seeing any scholarship info. Was that written on the offer letter or do we need to look elsewhere?
@“CalebN.” , I have no insider info, but here’s the wording on the web site:
“Each year the University invites up to 150 first-year students to the University Honors Program … Generally, students in the top 10% of the entering first-year class are invited to participate in the University Honors Program.”
I think if they want to invite the top 10%, they have to wait until all applications are in. So if I have to guess, I think it will come out later, probably similar timeframe as the President’s Finalist notification?
@anet – My son’s scholarship information was in the admissions letter
@Orange117 Hi and congratulations! It was just two sentences within the letter saying something along the lines that they were really impressed by my role as Editor in Chief of my newspaper and that they really hope I can come write for their newspaper. Not sure if everyone had this.
@anet SMU sends out scholarship info all the time in batches in the coming weeks I believe. Some people were notified in their letters tonight, but that doesn’t mean your daughter won’t recieve one in the future. Hope this helped.
Accepted as a Distinguished Scholar! 4.24 W, 1450 SAT
@syd24ranger I had something similar, they said “The Committee applauds all your hard work pursuing the IB Diploma at (high school name).”
@syd24ranger Thank you…that makes me feel better.
