Hunt Leadership Scholar

I have a couple questions about the Hunt Scholarship. Can anyone help?

  1. Can someone tell me what the essays are and what the youtube theme is? I am trying to decide if I am going to apply but I don't want to start the application to fid out the prompts and then not do it.
  2. Does this scholarship stack with Dean's scholar? Financially, there is not a lot of difference for me. Hunt scholarship says it provides full tuition to SMU minus the student's in state tuition. My in state tuition is actually pretty high so there is not much difference in $$. I do understand that the Hunt has some other perks though.

Can anyone who has applied already tell me what the essay(s) are?

I’m applying too!

Any news as to when the results are coming

Hoping for results soon… usually they come mid-late February. I’ve been checking out the analysis on my YouTube video, and it’s cool to see the view counts go up. I have it on unlisted, so I know the views are only coming from people who have access to the link. So far, people have viewed it in both Texas and North Carolina. Can’t wait to hear the news for myself and for all of you guys!

Does anyone know when the interview weekends are for Hunts and Presidential if you are selected?

@dancing1 Hunt is March 18, if IIRC.

All, for notification as finalist for Hunt Leadership Scholar, please post and be specific on when and how notified (date, FedEx, email, phone call, other, combination), basic stats (rank, UW GPA, ACT, SAT), and brief comment on the leadership aspect that was most important to your application.

Has anyone heard back about this yet? Or does anyone know when it will be sent/e-mailed out?

My son was emailed around 2:30pm central time this afternoon that he was not a finalist. Email stated there were a record 700 applicants.

same here. I did not receive the scholarship. Wish all the best for those who got the offer.
