W&L Johnson Scholarship Class of 2021 Official Discussion Thread

Ok @RollingInCash mine too, haha!

@tingdad, My daughter wrote a thank you note to the woman who sent them information – she extended her thanks to all involved.

@luckymama64 : did the professor reply back?

@luckymama64 : is your daughter a Richmond scholar?

@tingdad, my daughter wrote the thank you note on Wednesday to the woman who coordinated the weekend. On Wednesday morning, she received a very nice email from the faculty member who interviewed her in her panel interview. She was a semi-finalist for Richmond Scholar, but didn’t make it to the final round. She was admitted to UVA Echols Scholars Program (no merit money there!). W&L has been her top choice since 8th grade. . .I hope it happens for her!

@lucymama64: I think the professor that interviewed her wrote back is a good sign.

@lucymama64: what is the language in the email that the professor sent?

Also,does Robert Lee scholarship still exist?

@tingdad, LOL, at this point I don’t want to read too much into anything! I don’t recall exact wording–it was nice and referred to the topics of the interview. We are taking the position that it was a great free weekend!

Financial portal is changed today.

@tingdad, oh no. Not ours. . . .again, trying not to read the tea leaves.

Just got an email that notifications go out tomorrow at 8 pm

@tingdad what change do you see in your portal ?

@sc00per88 : a banner of scholarship requirements shown up on the top of table.

Mine hasn’t changed :confused:

@sc00per88 : it’s blue letter,size 12 or 14, say w&l scholarship requirements,

Has anyone noticed that the financial aid page has closed down. There was a blue banner this morning, and I went back to check around and the page is closed!

@screenname1001 yes just checked. Page closed down. 3 more hours! Good luck everyone!

So happy to say my daughter got the Johnson. She has worked toward this for four years, so we are extremely grateful. Thank you Mr. Johnson for endowing this amazing scholarship and creating such a fabulous opportunity.
