That is awesome! He was very fortunate to have someone like you there for him.

@lolakimono :  When will he know if he gets this scholarship?  Please let us know.  He is so fortunate to have you guiding him along this journey.  Best wishes for him on Thursday.

You are awesome but I already knew that by reading your posts on this forum.

I think there are two days of interviews, but I'm not sure if they are Wednesday/Thursday or if they were Tuesday and Thursday.

I switched schools last year, so he is my first senior to go through this process.  For the local scholarships, most have the March 1/15 deadline with notifications by May, but I'm not sure due to Covid-19 and the school closures how many of those deadlines might have been "flexible" or what might have happened for scholarship committees to get organized since they can't meet face to face to discuss applications.  Everything is new to me.

@lolakimono   I remember the original story.  Great news for your student and so very kind of you to help him.  I wish him all the best!

@lolakimono - This is terrific news! This student is so fortunate to have you coaching him through this process. And, a mock interview was a great idea. Good Luck to him.

Tonight is the Zoom interview, so if you can send good vibes out for tonight, I know both of us would appreciate it.

He emailed me tonight as soon as it was finished and said it was VERY nerve wracking. There were apparently NINE people on the call with him and they didn't ask a single question that we had practiced, but he thinks he was able to get all of the information out that he wanted to say.  They didn't cut him off.  He doesn't know when he will be notified, but he said he would let me know as soon as he heard something.

Bless his heart.  I am sure it was nerve wracking but I'm sure the practice helped him.   Continued best wishes for him.  Please let us know what you hear.  Again, thanks for your involvement in this young man's life.
