Hey @Hvfaith. I just wanted to say that I am rooting for you to become an inaugural member of the Humanities & Social Sciences Scholars Program (H3SP). I have no idea when the announcements will go out, but for my 2 kids who were selected to be a part of a competitive merit based HU scholarship with similar benefits, they both found out results late afternoon/early evening (6-9pm EST). Your username is perfect for this situation🙏🏾

Thank you. Did they receive results via call, email, or portal?
They both found out their results via email. I always also advise students to also check their junk email because at least one of my kids received some initial correspondence in that email folder.

Hey @Alphas91. I just wanted to say that I am rooting for your child. I know that Karsh and H3SP have similar timelines and my older Karsh student found out 6 years ago tomorrow (2/16), so I hope you hear some good news soon. They were delayed the year my younger Karsh kid applied 4 years ago and it was e-mailed on 2/28 (but the announcement was originally scheduled for 2/21). I am saying a 
for your family.

You are ALWAYS so kind. You are such a blessing to this forum!
She received an email just a short while ago advising the applications are still under review. I thought it was pretty considerate to reach out to share a status update. Hopefully, we will hear something soon. Does anyone have an idea of what the “English assessment” entails?
@ChangeTheGame. Any suggestions on the interview process for selection weekend?
