Hesburgh-Yusko Scholarship - referred by admissions

<p>Hi,
My daughter (accepted ED) received an email that the admissions office had chosen her as one of a "select few" that they referred to the HY scholarship and she was given a link to the application. I noticed on the HY website that the application deadline passed on November 15, but they gave her until Jan. 9 to submit.</p>

<p>I am simply curious about the number of students that are referred vs. those who were nominated by their school. She attends a small private school which has never had a ND applicant so her counselor can't give her much information. Any information out there for a "curious mom"?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

I was referred the same way and am actually wondering the same thing. I have no idea what kind of benefit referral from the admissions office has and am very curious about that.

Were you both also invited to the Reilly weekend?

My daughter was not invited.

I wasn’t, either.
