Presidential Scholarship

Anybody know how many people get invited to campus in February and then how many students get awarded it?

I was invited to a dinner where the president unveiled the program and they told us all about it, it’s a very exciting opportunity…I forget the exact number that move on to Finalist status but I know 15 students will be awarded it!

Does anyone know approximate notification dates?

Website says you have to be on campus for an interview on Feb 17 and 18 so I would think it would be before the end of January.

It was sent out on Jan 10.

Maybe, Miami started sending out the notification on Jan 10. International students received on that day.

@LIGIA Any idea how notifications were sent out? Email, snail mail, or update on applicant status page?

E-mail on January 10th! My portal still shows no update

@rocioarg how do you know it’s email?

Sorry for my late reply as I have been out of city for some days. The school sent an email to me to inform this.

@LIGIA and @rocioarg - Just to clarify, you already received an email inviting you to the scholarship interviews?

@COboysmom Yes, I did. I think that international students may receive the notifications sooner than American students as they need more time for US Visa processing. Your will come soon, just HOPING!

Congrats on your invites @LIGIA and @rocioarg and thank you for answering so many questions :slight_smile:

@COboysmom I did! @ibstressing2019 thank you!

@LIGIA is probably right. When I did not get an admissions decision on Dec 15th (I applied EA,) I was told by the admissions office that they could not release decisions for intl students until financial aid was confirmed for visa purposes. It would make sense for financial aid notifications to come out earlier for us since that is what is delaying the visa and admission process!

@LIGIA and @rocioarg - Definiteky makes sense, thank you. Which country are you guys from?

@COboysmom I’m from Argentina!

Just recieved a call from the office inviting me to finalist weekend. 1300applicants

@mynamajef Are you an international student or a domestic one?

I live in Pennsylvania @ibstressing2019

Thank you so much for your quick response. By the way, congrats on your invite @mynamajef ! Hoping to get a call too :slight_smile:
