Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship

There is a coordination/correlation (but not causation) connection w/r/t Chancellor schollies and the Mosaic program. Especially for Chancellor schollie winners who are non-URM (like my kid). My kid didn’t “represent” diversity, but my kid did “resonate” with diversity. Which is exactly what the admin office says.

Because of the focus of the Chancellor (academic excellence and deep-seated commitment to diversity and social justice), Chancellor winners (including white bread suburban kids like mine) seem to always get invited to Mosaic. Hence the packages that arrive that contain IN THE SAME ENVELOPE (i) Chancellor award and (ii) Mosaic invite. Many of the non-URM attendees at Mosaic are Chancellor awardees (just like my kid).

There appears to be no similar correlation/coordination for CV or Ingram and Mosaic. Although some other posters have indicated such.

That’s all I’ve been trying to say – over and over and over. Just trying to be responsive/helpful to the multiple questions about whether a Mosaic invite/non-invite says anything about a kid’s potential merit schollie chances.

YMMV.

“I got the chancellor scholarship letter along with my MOSAIC invite and admission!”

Here’s another kid who posted yesterday fwiw.

@northwesty I hear you. I don’t know why multiple posters have to keep repeating themselves. I think we keep gaining new people on this thread and they don’t bother to read the whole thread before asking questions!

Historically, the CV decisions were emailed the first week of March. Anyone have an idea what date it could be this year?

When will they hear about the Chancellor and Curb as well?

@brightfuture2019 Last year the notifications for CV were on Wednesday, March 7th. My bet is that we hear next week, hopefully on wednesday the 6th!

@edomexchs, was the notification by email or snail mail? Thank you

@asr712 email

Any updates on when CV scholarship might come out this year?

Has anyone received word?

Last two years they came out at 5:00 cst

I haven’t received an email. If they went out, congrats to those selected!!

nothing here

I haven’t received anything.

Same here. Might be this Friday instead?

Well the yes’s went out at 5:00 last time but the no’s went out between 9:00-10:00 so we will see what happens later tonight. There are only 156 of the CVs and 5400 kids applied last year so the chance that someone on this thread is getting the scholarship is pretty slim.

No email yet. I got MOSAIC for reference

@prospie2023 did your portal change when you found out about MOSIAC? Did you get an acceptance letter on the portal or did it look different in any way?

Nothing here either for reference.
