Distinguished Scholars Day

Is there anyone who has attended this event? Knowing what time it starts in the morning will affect which day my D can attend. Thanks for any insights.

I’m bumping this…has anyone attended one of the DSD? My D just got back from one today. She went to the honors track. I’m wondering when she will get the essay prompt.

@crazy4info my D attended DSD yesterday and they were provided with the essay prompt in the folder of info they received. It was in the form of a letter - may want to double check the materials she received at the event.

@seniormom1823 - thank you. She did get it in her folder - I just hadn’t asked her about it before I wrote that post. Thank you and good luck!

@crazy4info Thanks, and same to yours! I posted the question on another thread, but do you have an idea of how many scholarships they give per session?

@seniormom1823 - I sure don’t!

@seniormom1823 I’ve gotten the sense that there are a fair amount awarded. I have no idea what that’s based on. Maybe old CC posts? This doesn’t answer your question, but I’m just thinking out loud (or typing out loud!).

My D was notified today, via a handwritten note, that she was awarded the DSD scholarship.

@crazy4info which academic department DSD did your D attend (education, engineering, honors, etc)? Thanks

@seniormom1823 she attended the honors college sessions.

@crazy for info. Which DSD day did your D attend? And has her portal been updated with the additional scholarship? We have been waiting since attending the Oct. 16th session for Health and Human Performance. Wondering if they send out anything if you don’t receive it? Thanks for the info!

@LTmomof2 She attended a Nov. 13 session for Honors. I’m not sure if the portal has been updated. The note said that it would be updated in the next couple of days. I’m guessing it hasn’t because she usually gets an email when they’ve updated something. I can check for you later this afternoon.

@crazy4info. Thank you! And congrats to your daughter! Hopefully we will get something in the mail soon. :-SS

@LTmomof2 it did show up in her Baylor account. I just now had a chance to look!

@crazy4info Thank you! I emailed the assistant Dean in her college and asked if ours had gone out. He said it would either be this week or the first week in January so D is still in the running. I appreciate all of your help!

@LTmomof2 which college did your D apply under?

@seniormom1823 she applied under the Robbins College of Health Human Performance and Recreation. She is pre-med in Health Science Studies as opposed to the traditional biology route.

Has anyone heard back about the scholarship for DSD Honors? Getting a little nervous! TIA!
