Yale University’s Center for Race and Indigeneity awards the Yale Bassett Award for Community Engagement to about 15 high school juniors out of a pool of over 600. The applications for this award were due on January 24th, and it was mentioned on the website that results will be announced in April 2020. Previous winners’ lists were announced mid-April and April 23rd at the latest. Does anyone know if we get emailed of our status in this program or if the results’ date got postponed because it wasn’t mentioned on the website?
I have been wondering the same thing! I haven’t received word and when I reviewed their confirmation email, it almost made it seem like they only email winners? I’m not sure if that is the right way to interpret it or if they are postponing or anything. I hope it’s some consolation to know I’m in the same boat!
They usually release between the 20th and 28th, usually sometime between today and tomorrow. I know they’ll post it online, and probably email winners. I’ve super anxious as of yesterday.
Actually, based of their site:
2017 - April 20
2018 - May 7th (when posted to Twitter, the online award announcement doesn’t appear anymore)
2019 - April 23
@lumen3141 and @saguaros Glad to know that you all are experiencing the same thing and that I haven’t missed anything! I have been extremely anxious bc I heard back from all my award/scholarship apps except for this one. Let’s have our fingers crossed because I didn’t get any response to my email to them regarding the date. I am assuming they email winners on the same day they release the results, they keep all applicants waiting till the day of, or they email everyone regardless of their status (winner, semi-finalist, rejected).
Yeah I’ve been waiting too! From what I know they email everyone and post the winners all on the same day so fingers crossed for tomorrow! I wonder if the virus could’ve possibly delayed things
@Konohakatu I do think it is a possibility but I highly doubt they will notify us today. I am assuming they were actually supposed to have made the announcement earlier this month but things got delayed definitely due to COVID-19.
@STEMGeek16 previous years it’s usually been around this time (except 2018 but idk what happened then) so it usually comes out towards mid to end April
@Konohakatu Yup! I guess we are in a wait-and-watch scenario because just about everything is getting postponed due to Covid.

Well… today could be the day.
Hopefully…I honestly don’t have an idea as to when they will announce given that they delayed a lot already due to the virus.
They’re out! Didn’t get. Did anyone else?
Yeah I saw I didn’t get it but I’m glad I’m done waiting!
where did you find the list?
I didn’t get it either…didn’t expect lol given that the acceptance was below 1%
My son found out that he got it this morning.
how did he find out?
@asldfsadjhajsd i don’t think the list is out but they emailed everyone who applied
@mammacrum that’s awesome! Congrats to him! Just to see what it would take generally to get in, would it be fine with your son if he posted to this thread on what types of community service he did?
