Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship

I’m sure it’s probably all speculation at this point, but it looks like notifications went out the first Friday of March in the past. Anyone know if that pattern will hold this year?

It should! Got mine on the first Friday of March!

yikes that means two more days

@scarletwitchx I know it’s crazy. I’m just trying not to think about it, especially since there’s always the chance it won’t come out until later in March

Today’s the day! Do we hear by email? What time do they send it out?

Are we suuuuuuuuure it is today?

@therealdeal word on the streets is that they wait until after school is out to let everyone know. Whether or not this holds true is to be seen. In the past , both recipients and non -recipients were notified via email. Scholarship winners also get a Vanderbilt letter in the real mail. Good Luck and Anchor Down!

Are you straight away awarded final Cornelius scholarship or is there a further selection process from a pool of selected students?

Straight away awarded.

Thanks @muzzahlady! Do you know how many Cornelius scholarships are given out?

@muzzahlady Would the financial aid office know if you have received a merit scholarship? My dad called them a couple of days ago to work out our financial aid package, and the lady said that that amount would be my final amount I have to pay.

Good luck everyone! I’m praying for some good news.

So today is the day! Anyone knows the time? 3:00PM? 6:00PM?

@OHToCollege -about 150 per year. 1% -ish of all applicants to Vanderbilt.

Well-it is almost 3 in Nashville. Maybe it isn’t happening today?

I have no idea, @therealdeal23. We are doing RD, haven’t spoken to financial aid. As you have been accepted and Dad was discussing finances, one would think that she would have told him what was need based and what was merit based.

Will recipients be notified by email, snail mail or through Vandy portal?

@therealdeal23 - ugh- iPad didn’t let me finish the sentence I was typing. Did she give Dad a generic figure based on expected family contribution or did she break it down somehow for him?

Last year, the earliest e-mail notification reported was 5:21 pm EST. So, it still could be today.

Anybody get anything yet?
