Thank you for your Semifinalist application to the Point Foundation - 2023-24 Flagship Scholarship. Unfortunately, at this time, you have not been selected for the award. The process of narrowing down such a large applicant pool is a challenging one. Please know that we encourage you to reapply, should you wish to do so in the future.

We thank you for your interest in our scholarship and for sharing your story with us. We wish you continued success.

We want to acknowledge the time and energy you have spent on your materials and understand how disappointing this decision may be. However, we received a record number of applications this year and decisions were difficult to make, as there were many incredible candidates.

2022
Northwestern University, Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP)
Thank you for patiently waiting to receive an update regarding your SROP application. This cycle we received over 900 applications for SROP, so our process of making offers was extremely selective and extensive. We wanted to inform you that the selection committee has concluded our evaluation, matching, and invitations process and unfortunately, we will not be able to invite you to participate in the 2022 Summer Research Opportunity program (SROP) at Northwestern University. This decision may have been made due to a number of factors such as your specific research interests, number of spots per department and/or lack of an available faculty mentor for the summer.  Due to the volume of applications received, we unfortunately are unable to provide individual feedback. We appreciate your understanding and interest and look forward to engaging with you in other ways.

Purdue University, Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP)
Hello - thank you for applying to the Purdue University Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP).  We received hundreds of applications, and although there were many qualified candidates, we were only able to select 25 individuals to participate in SROP on Purdue's campus this summer.  All offer letters to those individuals have gone out and our application review process is now complete for SROP 2022.

Thank you so much for your interest in obtaining a position through the Summer Undergraduate Research Program at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center for the summer of 2021.  Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you a position this summer.  Over 1,200 applications were received, and we were only able to place about 100 students in laboratories for the summer.  We greatly appreciate your interest in the program.
