Have applicants who are being considered for Davidson's general, special competition and special application scholarships already been notified and invited to the merit days preceding Decision Davidson on April 18? I'm a regular decision applicant who hasn't heard anything from Davidson about scholarships. Does that mean I'm not being considered? Or, are regular decision applicants notified of scholarship consideration when they receive admission acceptances?

I applied for the music scholarship and recieved notification by mail on Friday that I didn't make it to finals. I also applied for the writing merit scholarship, but I haven't heard a decision on that one. I applied Regular Decision.

Hmm...I would look on the website, but I'm afraid I actually don't know....

I don't see any info on the website regarding notification dates/methods for consideration of scholarships. Am I missing it? Has anybody beside gathsquatch received any word on any of the non-Belk scholarships?

I emailed Admissions last month, and was told all merit award recipients "will be notified no later than mid-April". Mid-April seems a long time away, doesn't it? Since my D's already gotten merit awards at lots of schools, it's hard for her to keep Davidson in her mental list of schools still under consideration. If she doesn't get any merit money there, she won't be attending, and notification on that will take us almost down to the wire, as far as making a decision. (Of course, maybe she'll find out Wednesday that she didn't get admitted, which would make the decision easy, wouldn't it?)

For some reason I was under the impression that we would find out about general scholarships about the time the regular admission decisions were sent out. I applied for the science scholarship and have heard nothing so far.

Just got a letter. Not a finalist... oh well. I live in NY.

Haha, HoComom! I like your thoughts about Wednesday's admission decisions! Same here... no merit $ = no way my parents will pay for me to go to Davidson. I would like to be able to make an informed decision and move on if necessary.

Bustles, What scholarship did you apply for?

hopeful_gtb

just got an email saying i was a finalist for the presidentials scholarship. i was so excited, i actually called them up and verified that i got in. just to be sure. i don't mind that they now think i'm an idiot. i just felt like i won the lottery adn am now thanking all my recommenders again and thanking my lucky stars.. this doesn't mean i'll go to davidson, but i'm def. much more thrilled about this place. i totally love everything about this place. my parents don't like me going there. i think they secretly thought i would not get in so they were banking on that and instead i got in!!

anyway, i'm so excited. so that's why i'm telling you all that. sorry, i'll stop right now.

good luck to everyone else!!!! i really hope you all do well!!

I'm a finalist for the Kuykendall Scholarship and I got word last Friday by email and then Monday by mail. You would have heard by now.

Since the merit days are April 16-17, would I have heard by now if I'm being considered for any merit money?

im so confused about davidson's merit stuff haha... it seems all over the place. on the admissions letter, a piece said that we will know about merit $ in "late April". that's kinda crazy!!

Zetesis

D got her "financial aid" (or lack thereof) letter today -- and it says that Davidson will notify students of merit aid AFTER April 15. That is crazy indeed!

Affffterrr april 15th.... I swearr!! I thought (gladly) the days of nervously waiting were over !
