Wash U Scholarship Programs Class of 2023

Is anyone familiar with the notification process for the scholars programs? I understand people have been called in the past, but I am curious about past experiences and also any insight from current applicants.

My daughter received a phone call from the head of her scholarship program congratulating her on her admission to Wash U and notifying her that she was a Danforth finalist. It was in late February.

Any news about this year?

Reading past posts, that seems to be the process each year. It appears to be right around President’s Weekend (Feb. 18th), either the week before or the week after.

Has anyone heard anything yet? I think that past years it is sometimes released the day after Presidents’ Day, so it could be today.

Sounds likely that the results will be known today!

Any idea whether they call international students as well or do they email them considering the huge time difference?

I asked WashU admissions and this is what I got back.

“All Scholarship Finalist will be posted to the WashU Pathway by the end of this week”.

Which I guess means that it can be any day this week.

D19 just got a call about Danforth finalist status! So excited. Good luck to everyone.

Will they call for the Entrepreneurial Scholar Program as well, or only for the three big ones?

Got the call for Danforth scholarship finalist tonight. Does that mean an acceptance to wash u?

All of these scholarships won’t get phone calls. The portal will update if you are invited by no later than Friday.

For anyone who has gotten a call, has your portal been updated to reflect your finalist status yet?

If you do not receive a phone call tonight, does that mean you are out of contention?

Congratulations! My daughter is a freshman Danforth scholar! So exciting!

So basically my phone doesn’t receive any phone calls… I applied to the entrepreneurship one and looking at that list its one of the ones that gets phone calls… will my portal update to reflect what I would’ve gotten in a phone call even if I’m not like a finalist? Because currently, it looks the same.

Are they done making phone calls? If so, I guess I’m out of luck…
Congrats to everyone who got a call!! You guys are amazing :slight_smile:

I was wondering the same thing.

I wish they released all scholarship decisions at the same time. Atleast we would know we didnt make the cut rather than keep wondering

They just sent an e mail and updated the portal. It states that all finalists have been determined. Check your portal, I didn’t get invited, but best of luck to all of you!
