<p>When considering you for a merit scholarship?</p>
<p>I basically asked this question backwards (do the admissions people see your scholarship stuff?), and the answer I got was that the scholarship materials and the common app materials are reviewed by separate groups of people. The scholarship materials are looked at by a special committee, while the common app and supplement and any other regular admissions stuff is looked at by the admissions office.</p>
<p>I was told that it is professors who review the scholarship material, and that they are really looking for a student’s passion about learning.</p>
<p>Professors from any field right? Or professor from the department you applied to</p>
<p>^^^I assumed any field, but I could be wrong!</p>
<p>It’s not quite a professor in any field. If you’re in the art school, your application is looked at by people in the art school, in business by people in the business school, etc. However, there are some others on the committee (i.e. Chancellor’s wife) who are involved.
Oh, and this is only certain for Danforth, I don’t know anything about the others.</p>
<p>It is my understanding that scholarship committees review your scholarship application. If they are interested in you, they request the rest of your application file.</p>
