Does anyone know how promising getting an alum scholarship interview is? how many people who get interviewed end up getting the scholarship?
I just got an interview invite, too! I am honestly wondering the same thing.
I got it too. Very curious if anyone know what to expect for the interview.
How did you receive your notification? By email or mail?
@Viner I got mine by email.
Does anyone know if scholarships are announced before May 1 or after?
@Repente april 12. 2 days before bruin day
Finals weekend is April 21/22. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that happens to be Cal Day.
As far as I know, if you get invited to campus to interview, you will get money. But the better you do, the more money you will get.
S18 got an email this morning notifying him that he’s been awarded an alumni scholarship ($1000 per year). Anyone else heard? His email says all scholarship winners are invited to the alumni weekend on Apr 21. Does that mean all of them will be able to compete for the higher scholarship amounts, or do some emails refer specifically to the opportunity to compete for additional money in addition to the weekend invite? He isn’t keen to go to SoCal again after the trip this weekend for Bruin Day, and it also coincides with Cal Day, so that complicates things further. But if the competition is still on for more money, he might have to reconsider. It looks like things are being done a bit differently this year in general, but does anyone have experience of participating in previous alumni weekends?
