Hey guys and gals,
I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything yet about Vandy's Canby Robinson Scholarship? I've been hoping against hope to be contacted regarding this scholarship, but because it's been over two months since I was accepted, I'm thinking I might want to push this out of my mind. Thanks for all your help 🙂

I don't know of anyone that has received the Canby Robinson Scholarship but I know a few people that have received other scholarships. I heard that there was a tragedy in the family of one of the financial aid liasons, and they are a little late getting everything together. You have amazing #s, good luck.

Thanks, Flaahless. Congratulations on your success, by the way. I've read alot of your replies to ignorant, negative comments and I'm consistently impressed. You seem like a real positive presence on SDN. Kudos. Maybe we'll end up classmates at Vandy (although it seems like you have your heart set on staying in Cali).
I'm really sorry to hear about the financial aid tragedy. Hopefully that explains the delay and I can ease my weary mind. 🙂

No wonder I'll never get off this waitlist at Vandy.. nice application.

Thanks alot. I hope Vandy's Canby Robinson committee feels the same way.

I just wanted to try this one more time. I'll let this thread slide into obscurity after that. Anybody been offered or know anything about the Canby Robinson Scholarship at Vandy yet? Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not have it publicized, et cetera. Thanks again, gang. 🙂

I know you're just really anxious to know you won't be 200k in debt but why don't you just call them? I'm sure they'll tell you straight up when to expect to hear (if they haven't started yet)

Anyways - not sure if I'll end up at Vandy yet but it sure is a great school!

I've actually called a couple of times and been told very conflicting things. However, the synopsis of all these phone calls comes down to: "We're not going to tell you anything regarding the Canby Robinson Scholarship. Unless you get it, of course. Other than that, you're on a need to know basis." I 😍 Vandy, though, and because I've heard that their financial aid is not so generous, I'm thinking that this is my one chance to go there with a very low debt load. Thanks for the reply, J.

have the other schools been offering scholarships too? I'd imagine you'd be a hot commodity and they'd be trying to reel you in.

 

[beepbloop]

Well, thanks for the compliment, but no other schools that I've been accepted to offer scholarships yet (as far as I know). Those start in March/April. Vandy, on the other hand, does offer the Canby "throughout the year".

reviving a lost thread. anyone hear anything about the scholarships? saw someone on mdapps offered it on march 1

 

[studyin]

That person listed their being a Marshall and Rhodes finalist on their MDApps. Do you think they told med schools about this? Is this information something one should share in order to try to get more $$$ (or admission in the first place)?

 

[borat2008]

although im not really sure what those are, it could only help you. heck, people put stuff like intramurals on their apps. rhodes scholar seems slightly more legitimate...
