Has anyone else applied for the Coolidge Scholarship this year? If so, has anyone heard anything from the Foundation about their status (finalist, Senator, etc)?
Daughter has not heard anything. We were just wondering the same thing and whether the process would be altered because of the current circumstances.
I entered as well, and haven’t heard anything. However, judging from previous threads, finalists/senators are notified in mid-April, so we probably have a couple weeks (assuming coronavirus hasn’t screwed things up too much).

Anyone heard back? Judging by previous threads it should come out something this week or next week.
I applies as well, and still waiting to hear back.
Nothing yet either.
I still haven’t heard back, so I called Coolidge today and they just said that everyone will be notified by June 1st, which isn’t really helpful. If they adhere to the same timeline as previous years, hopefully we’ll know of finalist/Senator status by the end of week.
@kalanithi I hope so! However, just to be realistic, things might have been delayed this year. A few contests I entered have been pushed back by coronavirus, and Coolidge might have been too. Plus, I have no idea how they’re going to handle Finalist Weekend if it happens at the same time as last year.
@FlameAlchemist ive experienced similar things but the decisions still came out roughly the same time from previous years. The only difference is that they changed the stuff to online. I hope it comes out this week. Fingers crossed
Fingers crossed!
Has the reply date always been June 1st in previous years?
It was a couple of years ago when D19 applied. She found out in April that she was not a finalist.
I’m guessing the virus delayed things because according to the other threads senators should’ve been notified by now
Anyone has received any news lately ? From previous thread, It seems they notify everyone no matter what the result is.
Nothing yet. And, yes, older daughter received a “thanks, but you weren’t chosen” email a couple of years ago.
Nothing yet either. I think we’ll have to assume notifications will come in May, thanks to Corona. Honestly, though, I just want to find out relatively soon.
Yeah last year it came out I think on May 22 so who knows
Would be great to receive some positive news during this time for all of you talented students !!!
According to the thread from last year, the decisions were actually emailed on April 16th not May 22nd. They should be coming any day now. The only sure date is that everyone will be notified by June 1st.
@amylen143 no their website officially came out with public decisions on May 22 so they notified everyone before June 1
