That seems like a high waitlist score! Hopefully you're near the top. I was awarded a fellowship in Committee 3 with a 15.1.

I didn't get it, unfortunately. They only gave out 16, oddly enough, and announced it later than they said they would. I'm curious what happened behind the scenes to lead to that. Anyways, for anyone curious next year: the panel interview was hard. I got grilled a lot on my area of work and why I wanted the scholarship. They've changed the group component, and it was no longer a creative activity but was instead more of a Rhodes-style cocktail hour with the selection committee. Not sure how they used that in the end. Best of luck to anyone applying next year!

I'm a direct applicant and haven't heard anything either. Should we expect to?

Thanks everyone! I'll try to remember to report back so everyone knows what to expect for next year

Thank you! Very scared! Also Feb 24-26th are the interview days.

I didn't - they told me the day in their email.

Thanks! I heard from the Foundation directly. We have to confirm by this week that we’ll attend the interview, so perhaps they’re waiting for everyone to confirm in case someone can’t and more spots open up?

In case anyone is waiting to hear back, I found out today that I have an interview (third year in a row applying..!). Anyone have any insight/ can link to a thread where people have described the interview process before? I have no idea what to expect. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all as well!
