<p>Good Luck to all those applying!. Remember postmark deadline is 1/09/10!</p>
<p>Wooot! Can you believe it’s next month when we find out?</p>
<p>It is?! Really?!</p>
<p>Well it was for previous years. The semi finalist stage anyway…</p>
<p>I applied.</p>
<p>My game plan for this whole thing is to apply for as many scholarships as possible, so if I find out about any and it’s good news, I’ll at first think “Whoa! I don’t even remember applying!” </p>
<p>Great positive affirmation!</p>
<p>i have never heard of it</p>
<p>Scholarship for African-American students is probably why.</p>
<p>Wooot! I’m a semifinalist! Did anyone else hear?</p>
<p>@ Obstinate: I have the same game plan :-)</p>
<p>CONGRATS!!</p>
<p>When did you hear?</p>
<p>How was the message received…by email, phone or snail mail?</p>
<p>What happens next…phone interview, more paperwork - or are you now invited to the DC weekend?</p>
<p>Thanks!! I heard last night by email. And next, we have more paperwork and essays to do and then we wait until March 1st to find out about finalists. (:</p>
<p>Hey everyone! </p>
<p>I’m a semifinalist as well and I’m so excited! Good luck Excited G</p>
<p>Should I give up if I have not heard anything?</p>
<p>I am so excited for us…I am just praying now for God to make a way in my application for finalist 
The questions were really thought-provoking!</p>
<p>Hey I’m also a Semi-Finalist! This whole process has been nothing short of nerve-wrecking … hearing from both colleges and scholarships. Man, I hope I’m a finalist. It sucks that because of the previous recession, the program had to cut back on the number of awards given last year and this year. I bet that there are so many of us who are well-qualified for this scholarship. That being said, the RBS committee is going to have a tough time choosing just 15 out of 46. Nonetheless, I hope I’m one of them =D.</p>
