Whitinger Scholarship Ball State

Hello - Dnsent in her app for this scholarship and they said notification would be by December 18…it’s December 17th. Any thoughts on positive odds getting call on last day?

I just heard back that I’ve been invited to interview for the Whitinger Scholarship today. Maybe they are just really far behind?

D got the invite call on the 18th, just a day late. I Would assume by today all 100 calls would of gone out.

My daughter got her call on the 15th of December. Just curious how you know that their are 100 finalists? Did someone tell you that? Thanks.

Has anyone heard anything from Ball State yet about the Whitinger Scholarship? Think this Wednesday is the date by which they stated everyone would be notified. Any news of any sort?

Hello @ChicagoMomof3 My daughter is also in the running for the Whitinger Scholarship. She has still not heard any updates on her status, one way or the other. Have you heard any updates since your last post?

My daughter hasn’t heard anything yet. I thought they said by Feb 28th. We have been anxiously checking the mail everyday. I’m assuming they will send a letter either way.

Nothing here either. Please post when you get word either way and how. I sure hope it’s soon. I did verify, and the application says by today. Thanks for responding!

@pastasauce11 and @bridgetl2 Do either of you know how the applicants are going to be informed?

My daughter said someone a few years ago that was offered the scholarship got a phone call. They also sent a letter to everyone.

I have a daughter in the running for the Whitinger scholarship, too. We have not heard anything either.

My son emailed the Honors College today to inquire. Will share if we learn anything! Please do the same.

Haven’t heard anything either.

Apparently they have not made any decisions yet and do not have an official date by which they will make decisions. “We will let people know when we decide the winners.”

That’s disappointing. They definitely told everyone they would decide by Feb. 28th. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. I agree, it is disappointing. I have a kid on edge that just wants to know one way or the other so she doesn’t have to stress about it anymore.

@pastasauce11, can you share where/how you heard this information?

@ChicagoMomof3 Of course! My husband called just this morning. He relayed the information he learned. Apparently, they have been receiving a lot of phone calls :0 We are all on impatiently on edge

Response to our son’s email: Our selection committee is working hard to narrow down the finalists. You will notified as soon as a decision is made.

If anyone finds out HOW the people selected AND those not selected will be notified, please share. Thanks!
