Still waiting on any word about Presidential Scholarships. I received a nice email a couple of weeks ago from the merit office stating finalists should be notified by the end of February. That’s today! Losing hope here, but no one has posted of hearing about this one yet.
Hi, All. My S (TN) received a letter today notifying him that he’s a Finalist for the Presidential Scholarship (Music/Singing). The dates for the auditions are March 14 and 15 (Monday and Tuesday) so it’s not a scholarship weekend, per se.
Congrats! Hope good news is coming by mail, then.
@fallfever postmark on the letter was 2/25 btw. I know how hard it can be waiting for this kind of news. We’ve had some good news and some disappointing news along the way. Finger’s crossed for you!
Nothing came today. We are considerably farther than TN, but if there’s nothing tomorrow, I guess that’s it.
Keep hope alive! What’s your area of the arts, @fallfever?
Dance
Congrats to your son! I guess I’ll have to swallow my pride next week when my choir performs at Wake.
@tennessee1 Just in case, how many pieces does your son have to prepare for the audition and what kind?
The letter isn’t very specific about that, @onmywayup. It just says that you can do the same ones you did for your video or that you can pick other songs (doesn’t specify the number of songs required). They say to pick songs that show off your voice…
Has anyone heard about the debate scholarships?
Update - Presidential Debate Scholarship letters were sent out - my D received hers yesterday. All I can say is I didn’t know they sent rejected scholarship letters:(.
@skatermomnj - Sorry about that! I tell you, this college application process is hard. Be hopeful for great things to come.
So by now, all of the big scholarships have gone out?
@tennessee1 Has your son heard anything since his audition? Best wishes!!
@mtmarmom Not yet. He says they said they would notify winners today!
