Dansforth Scholars

I just received notification that I’ve been nominated to apply to the Dansforth program! Who else is applying?

I know that you can only go for the scholarship if you’ve been nominated, but IDK if you have to be nominated by someone within WashU or by someone like your GC.

@ap012199 you should be nominated by someone from your high school’s administrative staff (gc, principal, etc.) I personally don’t know a ton about the process but basically my school received info from WashU telling them they could nominate two students for consideration.

Oh that’s cool. Congrats btw! I’ll ask my GC about it but I don’t think WashU is in contact with my school. I am going to apply for one of the CAS scholarships. Good luck!!

@ap012199 good luck to you too!

Hey, I was nominated, too! I’m gonna wait until I find out my ED decision though… I don’t really want to invest time in my application just to find out I got rejected, you know?

@Isabelleg1 that’s fair tbh, im filling mine out bc the questions are similar to some other applications im doing right now

I got nominated too! And since I’ve just gotten my ED decision (accepted, yah!!!), I’m polishing up my essays (I started them earlier, as a “just in case” thing)
