has anybody been notified of provosts scholarship yet?
Do they have a date when the provost scholarship notifications are sent out?
The website says within two weeks of decision, so we’ll know by Jan 24, I guess. They also said that if you don’t get it, you won’t be notified at all so I guess just wait it out until the 24th and see if any good news comes your way.
It looks like those shortlisted for Provost Scholarship were already informed on the same day as President scholarship i.e., 17th. Beleive 100 people were offered , anybody got it by email so far?
I have not received an email, how did you find this out? @rickyrzza
We haven’t heard about anyone offered the Provost yet.
I called up the scholarship office today to find this and they told me this info. they also mentioned that about 100 persons were given. I was curious to check this out in this group if anybody has already got it…
On the web site it says 40 people each year.
Yes I read that too. I understand that it would be 20 for EA accepted students and 20 for the regular decision accepted students. But I was a bit surprised when the lady mentioned that they notified to 100 people on 17th for Provost OOS accepted students and hence wanted to check with this group
Thanks for the info. I had heard it was awarded to many URM and Hispanic students last year. Oh well, we were hoping…
since they mentioned that they will only notify by email those who were offered unlike the President scholarship i was looking to hear in this group if somebody got it .
Dd received notification by snail mail today. She is not a URM.
No email notification, oldgradmom? which state are you in?
No email. Just a letter. We are in Texas. I was surprised (yet pleased) because she did not make the semifinalist cut for the president’s scholarship yet I know there were 8 that did in our area. It must be different criteria.
Thank you oldgradmom!
@oldgradmom did she already receive her regular GT acceptance packet in the mail as well?
No acceptance in the mail. (Maybe I should check today.) She was just admitted over Buzzfeed. We haven’t received anything in the mail except the provost scholarship notification.
I was offered the Provost Scholarship! I’m so happy about it because I’m an international student and honestly had absolutely no hope on some aid. Also, my stats aren’t all that great (31 on the ACT). I guess I will probably be going here since the other ones I’m applying to are around the mid $60k
Rappnic. When were you notified about your Provost Scholarship? Can you provide additional information regarding your stats? I am waiting to hear about Provost Scholarship (OOS Accepted during EA). My ACT was a 32, GPA 3.95 UW. Has anyone else received Provost Scholarship? Any OOS?
@CB37138 I received the letter Feb. 1st, but it was postmarked Jan. 16.
I actually scored a 32 (35 M, 34 E, 30 R, 27 S) in ACT , and really high in SAT II’s, but I didn’t send those scores because it was too late for them to be considered.
Stats:
31 ACT
GPA: 3.97 UW, 4.29 W
Rank: 3/42
I think what helped me the most were my EC’s. I was president of the student body; a board member in NHS, math NHS, and Science NHs; co-founded my own NGO; recruited as staff of my local TEDx; President of the Debate Club; plenty of academic and non-academic awards. I also have about 900 community service hours, participated in two selective summer camps, did an internship in the Central American Bank for Economic Integration.
About your question, only OOS can receive the Provost, as what it does is that it lets you pay in-state tuition, which is about a 20,000 difference.
