I don’t think so. They said:
The application and interview materials you have already submitted remain under final consideration by our scholarship committee. We anticipate that scholarship offers will be released by the end of March.
my email didn’t say that, what scholarship was your daughter nominated for?
No specific info. about the programs. I’m confused too. What does your message say?
We found out tonight my senior is a finalist for a specific scholarship and will interview next week. So excited - he would love to attend ND but needs this! Is it possible your daughter is up for more than one scholarship (which is super exciting)?
Congratulations to your son. I have no idea how the committee worked. I guess kids were nominated for specific scholarships which fit them better. Good news for the first weekend in March anyway 
Son was also not selected as finalist. We are international, so knew it was a long shot. Surprised when he got selected as a semi-finalist.
Hi all! I got the finalist email last night and have an interview for it next week. What should I expect, and do all finalists get the scholarship? I talked to a merit scholar from last year who said they did — not sure though. Super excited!

Good luck to the RD applicants tonight!
Other Scholars’ Program finalists…have you been told when to expect notifications? Have you received your Financial Aid Notification either way? I saw on another message group a student said they had been offered their scholarship already.
My senior was invited to an admitted student’s day on ND’s dime and we received our flight info yesterday. Both of us are so excited, but we wonder if it is a good sign or a bad one re: the merit award (“Hey, we hope you will come to Notre Dame anyway!”)

Best luck the the RD applicants!
same here, hope it comes out with acceptance letters today.
D22 still waiting for scholarship notification as well (interviewed as a finalist). On the invitation for admitted student’s day, does it mention the visit being a requirement/part of the selection process?

No mention of it being a requirement in either email invite nor the Scholars’ info session that happened last night (also, no mention of expected release date either which prompted my question).
Since I posted this, a current parent told me we are likely a couple weeks out from notification. So, thinking the student who said he had received it was, likely, just assuming he would receive it as a finalist (since I have read that presented as fact in a couple places, but I will believe it when I see it, lol).
Thank you for this info. I wasn’t aware there was info session last night. My D didn’t mention anything about it. Now curious if she missed an email.
The email says it was recorded and will be available “this week” so she can still watch it!

Just curious….for all those of you that were invited as a finalist for a scholarship, I assume you were admitted via early action or were you deferred?
My senior was admitted REA but I have heard of quite a few RD candidates who are finalists. It seems like a really great sign they will be admitted.
Yes, REA for my daughter.

Deferred and now rejected. Oh well! Moving on for sure.
