@infinityprep1234 – Belk gets over 1000 nominations for 8 Belk scholarships. Don’t know what the numbers are for other full rides your student could be nominated for, but just wanted to share that info. My D was nominated but didn’t make first cut – they took it from 1000+ to 150 (if I recall) semifinalists. The good news is that if you then make the finalist cut to attend interview weekend, I’m pretty sure you get an automatic Chambers scholarship offer even if you don’t get the Belk. I think there are about 25 or 30 finalists but someone who made it that far should confirm. That’s certainly a nice ‘consolation’ prize!

My D is going to Davidson this Fall and super excited!!

@infinityprep1234 His school is nominating him. He told his guidance counselor that he was interested and all of the guidance counselors got together and voted on who they would nominate.

that is great @homerdog. This is our first kid going through american school system so everything is new. Daughter has to tell what scholarships are her priority. No nomination process so far. Does your kid attend a prep school too?

@infinityprep1234 nope. Large public school. Hyper competitive though. It’s in the top five public schools in our state.
