Hi I was invited to apply to the Dana Scholars program but I stupidly misplaced the paper. Could someone please share their paper with me?
I just sealed mine in the envelope an hour ago! Lol but perhaps if you email admissions@muhlenberg.edu they could send you a new copy of the essay prompts. You also need to sign and date a sheet saying you are informed and whatnot.
So I guess if I didn’t get an invitation then I’m out of the running for a major scholarship?
@jjplus3 Scholarships aren’t awarded until decisions come out. Dana scholars is a special program that comes with $4,000/year, but there are other awards to be given
@jjplus3 You still have a chance for a very generous merit scholarship if you meet the school’s criteria for such an award. I would also suggest that if you want to apply for the Dana Scholars program and did not receive an invitation to apply but believe you are qualified, that you should contact the school to ask if you can apply. Muhlenberg also has the RJ Fellows that, I believe, requires an additional application or essay and the Muhlenberg Scholars program that does not require an application and also comes with a $4000 award. Here’s the website for Muhlenberg’s honors programs-- http://www.muhlenberg.edu/main/admissions/honors-overview.html/
Explore Muhlenberg’s website to find out more about their merit scholarships.
This is sort of a general question but does anyone know how we find out about admission in general- is it envelope in the mailbox first or by the portal?
And where do we find out about the merit money- on the portal? Available at the same time as decisions?
@laughandlearn23 I’m trying to remember what happened with my daughter last year. I believe she received her acceptance in the mail with her scholarship offer or the scholarship came very soon after the acceptance. I don’t remember if she received an email beforehand. The scholarship was totally unexpected. Needless to say, we were incredibly happy and felt very thankful. Sorry I am not being so helpful! I do remember that the envelope in which her acceptance arrived was a business sized envelope. I thought that was unusual because her other exceptances came in giant envelopes. I’m sure if you called the admissions office they would be happy to let you know how they notify applicants of acceptances/rejections.
@rdtjgk thank you! so you think the scholarship came by regular mailbox?
Well hopefully I’ll still be in the running for the other scholarships. But it sounds like all of the Dana and invitation only scholarships have already been mailed out?
@laughandlearn23 We did receive the scholarship award via snail mail.
@jjplus3 The Dana Scolars, RJ Fellows and Muhlenberg Scholars are all honors programs that each come with a $4000 scholarship. If you were my child and you were telling me that you wanted to be in one of these programs and had not received an invite to apply, I would likely suggest to you contact the school to find out if applying is still an option. The worst that can happen is they say no. No harm, no foul.
Does anyone know the deadline to submit the application??
Does anyone know when we hear back?
Should decisions come out next week maybe? They did around Mar 16 last year I think
We have not heard anything, just the invitation for the Dana honors program. Anxiously waiting, this the #1 choice for my daughter and we have heard about all others but Muhlenberg. :-S
This is going to be quite a week coming up! Still waiting to hear from Pace and Muhlenberg.
Well, she got accepted to Muhlenberg! Scholarship info to follow.
@loveandcruises Congrats to your daughter! I did not get anything in the mail today- do you live close to the school?
Did anyone get into ANY of the honors programs (Dana, RJ Fellows etc) with their acceptance package? My kid got a big envelope with lots of info, saying financial aid info will follow, but no mention of honors programs or when we would hear.
To laughandlearn23 – I live on Long Island. FYI, the Admitted Students Day is 4/9.
My daughter got her acceptance letter yesterday! We are now waiting on the financial award…
