<p>my son had an interview with terry foundation people yesterday. does anybody know how they select the students for scholarship? thanks</p>
<p>I’m curious about this as well. I have my interview on Thursday. Besides financial questions what other types of questions are asked?</p>
<p>I have an interview for that this Friday. I know for sure they ask major questions on your financial situation and your interests. One word of advice I got from the lady on the phone, is not to brag about your academic strengths. She said they are NOT looking for bookworms. They want to hear about you being very outgoing.</p>
<p>Basically they want people who are poor and who are very active in the community. They want people who will be involved with a lot of University activities.</p>
<p>Last year when I was interviewed, there was a panel of six sitting around me. They asked questions pertaining to my application, my interests, what I plan to do at UT, my financial background, etc.</p>
<p>anhtimmy,
would u mind to share your EFC last year & if you got any money from Terry F. & if so, how much?</p>
<p>Haha. My interview went well. :)</p>
<p>Anyone know when we’ll hear back? I’m so anxious!!!</p>
<p>It’s getting down to it… I’m pretty sure they said if we don’t hear back my monday, we call… I just wanna know!</p>
<p>sounds like they want students who are smart and confident in everything they do / and people who need help financially</p>
<p>i am honored and happy</p>
<p>Recieved the letter today! </p>
<p>So unbelievably happy!</p>
