2014 FISCA SCHOLARSHIP

<p>It would be nice if they sent out a letter either way. The time and effort it takes to get all the paperwork together and write the essay should at least be acknowledged so we’re not all wondering</p>

<p>I applied as well and in the very beginning of June i was actually able to speak to someone who told me the winners would be announced within the next 2 weeks and here we are still waiting. I’ve called and emailed so many times and no one answers anything </p>

<p>I am thinking of all those community service certificates I had to get people to complete. Ugh!</p>

<p>I’m thinking the winners have already been chosen and notified. It says on the application that only winners will be notified. They haven’t posted anything about it on their website but I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean the winners haven’t been selected. I just think common courtesy would be nice and they could at least send out some type of letter to the non winners as well just as an acknowledgement. </p>

<p>I believe the winners have been chosen and attended a luncheon in their honor in May. @nikkimf Not sure why they told you 2 weeks, maybe because that’s when their magazine came out with the article about the luncheon.</p>

<p>May? The scholarship app. said winners would be notified during the summer and the press release announcing last year’s winners wasn’t released until mid-September. Even now searches don’t bring up any announcement of winners; surely if the luncheon was over 3 months ago, they’d have released the names by now. My daughter just found out she won the 100 Black Men of America scholarship 5 days ago so there’s definitely some out there that haven’t been decided. </p>

<p>These late notices are so crazy. Seems that students would need funds by now. I know my bill was due by August 2.</p>

<p>Our tuition was due 8/20 and yet my daughter still has 6 scholarships outstanding. They’ll credit next semester, but it made paying this semester tougher. :(</p>

<p>I still have 2 that haven’t paid yet. My school bill is paid, but I was depending on this money to cover other expenses. Makes no sense to me unless they have had a lot of issues in the past with students changing their minds of what college to attend last minute. Waiting to disburse would keep them from having to redo it.</p>
