When do invitations to interview go out?
What is most important in selection?
Overall process?
Eligible to apply/selected to interview/selected for award numbers?
Typical stats?
Looking for…?
Invitations were send a while ago. Here is an overview of current Harvey Scholars. It seems to be holistic and many different majors are winning this scholarship. It seems balanced between boys and girls, while Mines is not yet gender balanced overall, so girls may have an easier time winning. A certain amount of giving back is required of these students. Good luck to your student. High stats, lots of strong ECs with leadership seems to be the theme.

Also the number of awards per year has gone up steadily, so its not clear how many are being awarded this year.
I believe I saw somewhere they are awarding 18 this year.
@Coloradomama “Invitations were send a while ago”? I think you are mistaken.
Harvey Scholarship applications were not due until early last week, on January 18th…that was less than two weeks ago. I doubt they have finished reviewing them yet…so certainly invitations to interview would not have been sent “awhile ago”.
@4kids3graduate Sorry I meant Invitations to apply for the Harvey Scholarship, not the invitations to interview for it. I misread the question above.
Has anyone been contacted about the Harvey Scholarship yet? Wondering what the time frame is to be notified if someone has been selected for an interview, what the interview process is like, how many are initially selected to interview vs. how many are ultimately selected, etc.
My son just received an email that he is not a semi-finalist for the Harvey Scholarship. Good luck to everyone else!
I got a call Monday evening letting me know that I was a semifinalist. Does anyone know how many semifinalists are generally chosen from the applicant pool?
@fitts6 Have you heard back after your semifinalist interview? My daughter was also a semifinalist but we haven’t heard anything yet. If I heard correctly, there were around 45 semifinalists for up to 18 spots.
@stloumom I received a call Thursday, March 10 at around 6:00 PM letting me know that I received the scholarship. Not sure if it is spread out over two days or not
@fitts6 My daughter received a call around the same time saying that she had gotten it as well! Congratulations! Very exciting!
