<p>My son received great news last evening - he was selected as a winner of one of the College Scholar merit scholarships! Plus, I figure we’re safe in assuming that he’s been accepted to Wooster. :)</p>
<p>Anyone else on CC hear about their College Scholar applications?</p>
<p>Do you know how many scholarships are awarded?</p>
<p>My daughter is a College Scholar (freshman) at Wooster. I think I was told that about 50-55 kids were offered some level of College Scholar award. I could be recalling this incorrectly, but I believe it was somewhere in that ballpark. Not all of them enroll.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your award.</p>
<p>when is the deadline for all scholarship announcements?
nm, i found my answer on my acceptance letter.
the deadline for all scholarship announcements is Feb. 5th</p>
<p>Are you referring to just the scholar awards – There are several other scholarships available provided you apply by 2/15. Here’s the website for additional info.</p>

<p>Have the letters been sent?</p>
<p>which letters are you talking about?</p>
<p>I mean has anybody heard about the College Scholars yet?</p>
<p>bjfcool,</p>
<p>My son received a phone call (last Tuesday evening, I think) notifying him that he had been chosen to receive a College Scholar award. He received an invitation to the College Scholar weekend a couple of days later. I’m not sure if he’ll receive an official award letter; we assumed the inviation served as confirmation of the call.</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Last year, my daughter was informed of her College Scholar award by mail. It came some time after the letter confirming her acceptance. … Congratulations, Radionicist! If your son goes to Wooster, I’m sure he’ll love it!</p>
<p>Yeah, I didn’t win the Arthur Holly Compton Scholarship… :(</p>
<p>Sorry, nicesocks.</p>
<p>Does Wooster actually let finalists know if they didn’t get a scholarship, or does the empty mailbox speak for itself? My dd was a finalist for the College Scholar award, but by now I am assuming that she did not get it. :-(</p>
<p>Cockatiel–I recommend that you contact your daughter’s admission’s officer at Wooster. (I looked it up–Catherine Finks has Virginia.) I’m betting that your daughter did get a College Scholar award and they just haven’t sent you the info yet. Good luck!!</p>
<p>Cockatiel how do you know if you are a finalist?</p>
<p>Cockatiel–My daughter never received a finalist letter last year. Just, out of the blue, we got the letter confirming her status as a “College Scholar.” It’s possible Wooster changed the way they do things this year.</p>
<p>Dd received a letter about four weeks ago saying that she was a finalist. Then about a week ago dh and I received a letter congratulating her on her acceptance to Wooster etc., but not a word about College Scholar. A mystery. </p>
<p>I will mention calling up Ms. Fink to my dd. Dd is more patient than I am though…</p>
<p>Cockatiel–By finalist, maybe they meant that she actually was awarded the College Scholarship. Definitely call Ms. Fink. If your daughter is too relaxed and layed-back to do it (as my daughters both are!), I don’t think you should feel bad about inquiring on your own. Don’t be patient. You have a right to know, and Wooster is wonderful about these things.</p>
<p>Today was the day – dd received a generous Compton Scholarship! 
Huzzah!</p>
