<p>Does anyone know when these merit awards are given to admitted students who submitted the required essay?</p>
<p>guess along with the admission decision</p>
<p>My daughter’s friend won one of the Porter scholarships and was notified early in March</p>
<p>I’m very surprised that the school has not notified all applicants about the Porter scholarship. Did your friends D apply ED?</p>
<p>Sorry I stepped away and didn’t come back until now. I imagine they have told everybody that won one already (there were four of them) but perhaps you only find out you didn’t get one when you get your financial aid offer. The winners have already been hosted on campus. I suppose something might change if one of them doesn’t end up going to Skidmore, but the admissions office said that nobody has ever turned a porter scholarship down. There were 1000 applicants for four scholarships.</p>
<p>Oh sorry, I forgot to say that dds friend did not apply early decision but was notified by phone early in March that not only says she in, but that she had won the scholarship</p>
