Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship

@Winky1 I don’t see a thread for last year (although I am sure there is one somewhere) but looks like notification in 2016 was first Friday of March which was the 4th that year.

so the thing is. vandy’s spring break starts this saturday and goes until monday the 12th. so, i don’t think they’d make notifs during that time period (unless someone knows otherwise)? i’m guessing it’ll be after the break, because this first friday of march, the 2nd, seems too early considering the scholarship office continued to say “mid-march” whenever i called and asked

The Vanderbilt website says CV scholars get full tuition, a stipend for a summer project after sophomore or junior year, and other special opportunities. What are the latter?

I am rooting for release on the 2nd. The 12th seems too long and Chancellor’s have been notified. Fingers crossed!

@Winky1 oh wait do you think that all chancellor’s have been notified, or only the ones who got accepted through MOSAIC as well?

I was thinking all Chancellors, no?

@skipper99 Only the academic program is on spring break. Admissions and other administrative staff continue to work throughout spring break.

@ProfessorMom1 ahh, okay thanks! my friend that goes to vandy told me that stuff would be closed during the spring break but she was vague and i probably misinterpreted. thanks again for the clarification!

@Winky1 i thought it was only people who got in through mosaic, but i’m not 100% sure hm

I am not totally sure either.

it’s probably best to just wait and see. think i’ll take a break from cc until i hear any more news haha…

This is what my D’s admissions rep emailed her back when she asked him about scholarship notification:

Scholarship decisions will be released mid-March. Notification of scholarship will be sent via email and postal mail. The best advice I have is to continue checking your email!

So, if we are to go off of this info., then I’d say they will notify after their break. Best of luck!

I’m a senior at Vandy, and I got my CV acceptance on 3/7/14 which was a Friday!

Do you remember if it was a Friday right before spring break, @sophie1295?

It was the Friday in the middle of spring break, so I think this Friday is maybe too early!

So maybe it’ll be a week from Friday for us. Thanks.

My S got it a few years ago on March 4

For the last 4 years, CV winners have been notified on the first Friday of March. So tomorrow could be it.

Does anyone know when notifications are usually sent? Morning, noon, afternoon?

afternoon, judging from past years @Sallaw
