When is my interview?
Interviews are generally conducted during the month of March that follows the January application deadline.
Where will my interview be?

All our interviews are conducted online. If you’re a high school senior, we coordinate with your school’s counseling office to secure a space on your campus to conduct your online interview. Your school will contact you with your interview location, time, and date once it is scheduled.

College students, including graduate and medical school students, will have their interview via Zoom. We will contact you by email to schedule an interview. Please update us if your contact information changes.

What should I wear?
There is no specific dress code, but we recommend that you dress neatly.
What will the interviewer expect me to talk about?
Yourself! Topics will include your background, motivation, academic history, interests, and goals. If you have activities or achievements that you couldn’t or didn’t add to your application, now is the time to talk about it.
Will I be asked why I need a scholarship?
No. Do be prepared to discuss what plans you have to finance your college education, above and beyond a scholarship from our organization.
