Still nothing…
ISTS (who coordinates the scholarship website) closes daily at 5pm CST, which makes me wonder if decisions will actually be coming out tonight…
The suspense is literally driving me crazy…
This is so upsetting… They said by the end of April and they wait until April 30th, and decisions still aren’t posted.
Hopefully this just means they are taking they’re time to read through every application well 
They did have 5,000 to go through…
So it probably won’t be until next week…? I doubt it will be sent over the weekend. I was told they would be sent today!
Come to think of it, we were supposed to receive emails telling us if we were semifinalists. That never was the case… It just showed us a semifinalist application when we logged in to our applicant portal. Wondering if the “Acceptance” tab is already showing up for finalists and the rest of us didn’t get selected, or if (hopefully) nothing has been sent out yet
@earthling504 I actually received an email on January 8th letting me know I was a semi-finalist!
Yea so unfortunate. Doesn’t look like we will be hearing anything today and I think it’s very possible it might even go into next week. I understand they have a lot of essays to read, but I wish they could at least email everyone to let us know that there has been a delay… We have been waiting for months.
Yep, nothing as of now. There was a semi-finalist notification that went out. So we’re probably looking at a notification some time next week or so…
40 more minutes. :^o . I’m going to have anxiety after this
After five months of waiting we should at least be told that there is a delay…
UGH! As its in CST there’s technically another 45 minutes left for them to send them out. I definitely did receive an email as a semi finalist though. It would’ve been nice to have a btw we’re delayed email but, all things considered, they’re giving away money, and they’re not under any type of contract to NEED to give away said money so we can’t complain too much. As much as the wait right now is the worst!!!
15 minutes left for them to announce…
Looks like it will be more waiting…
Ugh yep I can second, more waiting. Dang. Does anyone plan on calling or emailing tomorrow to see what’s up?
Wasn’t the application deadline according to pacific time? Maybe (I’m holding out hope) the notifications will come by midnight pacific time…
I emailed them last night and they replied with the following this morning:
"Dear Student,
The Amazon notices have been delayed. ALL applicants will be notified; we expect the notices to be sent any time now.
If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know."
Not sure what any time now means… As in today, this week, this month. Ugh can’t they be more specific.
This waiting is scary 
I haven’t heard anything all day…
