Does anyone know when Vanderbilt announces the winners of their Curb Scholarship?
I’m not sure when they announce the winners, but my son was notified on Wednesday (March 6) that he’s a semi-finalist, if that’s what you mean.
Thank you
Anyone here who is (or has been in prior years) a Curb Scholarship semi-finalist? After the initial notification, semi-finalists had a week to submit an additional essay (750 words) plus an optional 3-minute video. My son submitted both, and he received a nice email confirming receipt, but it didn’t provide any information on when finalists would be announced or any further steps.
They did mention in both emails that the scholarship was separate from admissions, so we’re really hoping that a semi-finalist wouldn’t end up rejected. He’d be especially sad after getting his hopes up along with all the extra work!
I have read in previous Vanderbilt threads, that if you are selected for a scholarship you are 100% sure to get an acceptance letter. I cannot remember which thread but I sure you could find it with a little work.
For future applicants, my son was accepted and received the Curb Scholarship, so apparently there was no “finalist” round. He just went from semi-finalist to acceptance with the Curb noted in his financial aid award. We’re thrilled!
