@Fuzerabit Congrats!! What time was your email sent?
@Chopinspiano
Thanks! At 1:19 today
@APersonsHistory I don’t know. I’m just a former winner.
Is the $1000 scholarship paid to the institution or to the student?
I won!!! I got the email at 10:51 CT 3/28/16. Wow
@TKatana
It is sent to the student but payable to your school. The email states that.
If you haven’t decided on a school you have to pick your first choice then email them if that changes before they release the check in August.
It seems to me that the emails aren’t sent all at one time. I still have hope. 
If you haven’t received a decision yet, you can login to the Burger King Scholars Program site and it will tell you your status. I checked mine since I hadn’t received an email yet and it told me I didn’t receive the scholarship.
Thanks! I didn’t receive it either.
None of the scholarships administered by Scholarship America will be paid directly to the student.
Not a recipient.
@Fuzerabit
Would you mind sharing your stats? I am curious as to what was required to win this one.
ECs, Test scores, GPA, anything else unique?
Thanks!
Stats from a sample size of one is not “what’s required”. You’d find that the range of stats can vary quite significantly. Even among the top winners.
Source: won the 50k award in 2015.
I understand that you won a lot of scholarships last year Courtney, and that is fantastic!
I think sharing the information on what winners stats were is of interest to people since we get absolutely no feedback on our applications - why they won, why they didn’t win, and knowing that information, even if from a small sample size, is of interest.
Saying that the range of stats varies is a great soundbite, but is that range of stats ever released? If so where? If not, how would you know for a fact that it varies a great deal?
I know the stats of many winners, including myself and the other top 2 (among many others), and know that our stats varied quite a bit.
Stats posts in scholarship threads really do nothing in terms of giving you more information. Stats, unlike college admissions, is not what outside scholarships are heavily based on.
I appreciate the folks who PM’d me their stats. What it showed me is that my student did not have a long enough work history for this scholarship, at least, that was my takeaway from those data points, which may be of interest to others as well.
Is there a way that they could still issue $1,000 lk me and my sister have similar if not the same stats but I have I think one more activity and have higher test scores yet she got it last year and I didn’t. I’m so confused and I think I’m just going to call tomorrow
@CourtneyThurston This site is to share ideas and answer questions. As you are not a moderator I don’t feel it’s your place to tell people not to list stats or not answer questions that may be important to them. This site is for everyone not just your personal interests.
I didn’t tell people not to list stats. I suggest that they not, because it isn’t productive.
To those asking for stats here are my D’s. SAT is 2340 and gpa is 4.0, National Honor Society, Captain of her varsity sport, a unique fundraiser that she had worked on for 8 years, and each summer she participated in STEM enrichment.
