<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I'm a future Swattie - class of 2014 - and I received a FedEx Package with a letter that said I was a Phillip Evans Scholar Finalist. I was (still am) so excited about it! It said that I need to interview on campus in mid-June, and that I would find out two days later. I was just wondering if there are a lot of finalists for this scholarship? Is anyone else here also finalist? </p>

<li>Thanks</li>

<p>Congratulations! Philip Evans Scolars is very cool. If I recall, you get a stipend to buy a nice laptop, money to do some cool thing abroad at least one summer, and all sorts of other perks.</p>
<p>I don’t know how many finalists there are.</p>
<p>A couple of my son’s close friends were Evans scholars. Good luck with it. If you get it, the college pays for more than one summer if I recall and doing something that you’d really want. This kid went to Argentina and worked for some well known media company (well known in the US). Another kid worked at CBS’s 60 Minutes …she was an Evans scholar and I think the school set up the internship. They also have a great orientation separate from the others a week ahead. For the class of 2008, this was a weekend in NYC staying at a top hotel etc.</p>
