When will Pearson Scholarship notifications go out?

The website says “by April”, but wondrpering what exactly that might mean. Has anyone heard an exact date and where did you hear it? Thank you!

I am also looking for an answer! I have been admitted to Trinity College two weeks ago and did not recieve any Trinity-related scholarship.

UofT has said they are not publishing an exact date, but they will come out sometime in April (probably early April). This is also the first time they are doing the Pearson scholarship (that’s probably why they don’t have an exact timeline).

^ I heard this information from the UofT message board on the portal and from their webcasts.

@lunamir thank you! Fingers crossed for sooner rather than later since decisions are pending for everyone.

Hi! I heard on Friday, so I am sure you will hear soon too! They will be announcing the final winners in April once people decide whether or not to accept the scholarship.

@JazmynVan did you get the scholarship? That’s great! If I didn’t hear back on Friday, do you think that means I wasn’t awarded a scholarship?

I’m not getting too excited about @JazmynVan ’ s first time post. One of the senior members on another thread said decisions for the prior version of the Pearson came out in mid April. Hard to believe they’d come out more quickly for a new version.

It could be that perhaps the best students were already notified and others are to come. I can’t imagine that if the scholarship decisions were final, those who weren’t awarded it would not have heard back yet.

Wondering if anyone else (in addition to JazmynVan) has heard anything?

I have not, but I will post when I hear back either way.

We have not heard anything either and will also post when we do.

I have been just notified that I am a Pearson Scholar! I was trying to figure out my financing for UC Berkeley as an international; U of T it is!!

@archilochus congrats! Were you just notified over email?

@archilochus Congratulations! Good luck with all future endeavors. :slight_smile:

@archilochus I am currently a junior in high school and I really need your help sir! I am from a financially impoverished background and therefore will be applying for the Pearson scholarship next year. It would be very helpful if you could please provide any tips as to how one can mazimize chances to getting such a scholarship?? Why do you think they chose you over other candidates. Furthermore, can you briefly describe your:

high school GPA, IB/AP scores, Extra Curriculars etc

Many congratulations on getting the scholarship! Best of luck for a very bright future ahead ! I hope to meet you at University of Toronto when I am accepted next year.

When can we know for sure that we haven’t been awarded the scholarship, given that no notification was received?

@GayaPJ I have no idea–it seems like the people who have found out that they got the scholarship were also notified at different times.

@lunamir and @GajaPJ We still haven’t heard anything affirmative or negative either.

Hey does anyone know when all the decisions will come out? Cause I heard some people got theirs already.
