Specialty Merit-Scholarship Decisions

Does anyone know when the specialty (e.g. Girls Who Code, Foisie, Chemistry & Biochemistry) scholarships will be announced? Has anyone received any of these yet?

I’m not sure if things have changed, but when my son was offered a Foise, he got a call from the admissions office a day or 2 after he received his acceptance.

Was that this admissions cycle or a previous one?

I emailed about Girls Who Code a few days ago and was told that as of the 19th it has not been awarded yet and they would make their decision in the next few weeks. No idea how one will find out about the outcome.

My son was offered a Foise in a previous admissions cycle

Anyone hear anything? I’m curious as well!

I contacted admissions and they sent me an email this morning saying Girls Who Code would be released next week.

Good luck! I’m hoping for the Chemistry/Biochemistry Scholarship, maybe it will be released around the same time?

Has anyone heard about any special scholarships - Foisie, etc? It seems like it’s getting late to announce these. I’m beginning to think these scholarships don’t really exist.

They really exist… I promise! :wink:

Cameo43 When are they being announced?

The FIRST community scholarship was announced today.

Have any others been released?

Not that I know of

Girls Who Code was ~supposedly~ going to be released by the end of this week

Like I said - I’m beginning to think these scholarships don’t really exist. :frowning:

Does WPI realize that there is under 2 weeks until commitments need to be made and the financial piece is an important thing for many of us? Really uncool.

I just received an email this morning from the person I was talking to at WPI, unfortunately the scholarships have just been announced. If you didn’t get notified, there is no scholarship. I didn’t get one, so I guess that’s it for WPI and me. I’m heartbroken :frowning:
