My daughter applied already (not ED) and I feel her stats are great and am hopeful she might get considered for RIchmond Scholars but am not holding my breath as I know most students applying here also have great stats!! With that said, does anyone know the timing of when they would hear if they are even being considered for this? If she does not get offered the scholarship we will have to take it off of our list to consider and so am wondering if there is a certain timeframe that they would let students know? thx
Students have typically been notified in January that they are a finalist. Then there is an interview process, some via skype, but also some artistic types get live auditions. However, I know they changed the program this year and will only award 25 Richmond Scholars, so that might change the process. I haven’t seen anything on the website with the details.
@Mwfan1921 thanks! I was hoping they would let kids know earlier than that…I’m already so anxious to put this college applying/decision stuff behind us.
Anyone else who applied hoping for this? Also, does anyone have an opinion on their STEM program?
Based on last year, I would expect Richmond Scholar finalists to be notified the last week of January. Last year, my daughter received the notification via email two or three days after receiving her acceptance packet which arrived via USPS the day before the official EA notification date. This year the EA notification date is Jan. 25, and the Scholars web page says finalists will be notified by Feb. 1. (Last year was the first year with the new process, and it sounds like this year will be very similar.)
My daughter has applied EA and is also hoping for Richmond Scholars consideration. She’s now working on arts submissions which are due 12/1.
Received notification y-day for interview.
@Blore2023 was your notification by email or by regular mail?
email notification.
Per the Richmond Scholars website, all finalists have been notified via email.
Is there also any money awarded to RRS?
