Howard University Karsh STEM Scholars Program (KSSP)

Hi @ChangeTheGame. I’m a high school senior and I just applied for the BISON STEM scholarship. Do you happen to remember what time the Bison Selection Weekened events ended because it’s the same day as prom for me ??

@JCarter20199 Last year the closing meeting with all of the finalists and parents ended around 6pm on that Saturday evening. If you are selected as a finalist and think you would have a conflict due to your Prom, I would suggest that you reach out to the director of the program and let him know. I would think they could work around your conflict or make sure you would finish the selection weekend process early. Good luck.

Thanks.

My daughter has applied, so I am patiently waiting to see if she will be invited!

@Phillymom5 I have seen your daughter’s stats… No way that Howard doesn’t invite your daughter for selection weekend in March. You shouldn’t have to wait too long. Good Luck and please keep the us posted.

Will do!

What were the stats? My daughter applied as well. We are praying

Please post if anyone has received an invite email ? to attend selection weekend

Good morning, thank you so much for sharing this information. My daughter was recently notified that she was in the first group invited to the 2019 selection weekend. (the letter said invitations are still going out)… I was curious, what do parents do during the students interview process? Trying to work out housing for myself while my student is on campus.

@veejay3 Congratulations on your child becoming a finalist. Last year, the parents were only at Howard for the Opening and Closing of the selection weekend. Once the opening meeting was over on Friday evening, my wife did not see our daughter again until 6pm on Saturday (Taking the ALEKS and the panel interviews for all of the students took most of the day on Saturday). My wife went shopping and sight seeing on Saturday before going back up to Howard’s campus that afternoon.

Thank you, our family is excited.

Hello. Was the notification via email or letter? Did they say when they would be complete sending out info. My daughter also applied and we have not heard anything yet.

@veejay3 did they send it in an email or did you receive a letter in the mail?

@trob71 and @koreama1 My daughter was notified via email over the weekend. The email stated: “You are among the first group to be notified, if you know others that have applied, please be sensitive to the fact that they will receive notification very soon. Because they have not been contacted doesn’t mean they will not be invited as a finalist. Details of the weekend will be sent soon.”

@veejay3 Thank you for the information and Congratulations to you and your daughter!

Thanks a lot for the response!

Hi @veejay3 around when did your daughter fill out the bison stem scholarship application

Thank you for the information. I’ve been wondering if this week will be the week we hear.

@JCarter20199 My daughter submitted her application toward the end of January. She received the invitation to the selection weekend last Saturday.

Thank you.
