I wasn’t selected either. Received the email about an hour ago. Bummer, but hopefully someone on here got one!
My son was not selected either. I hope they decrease the number of “semi-finalists” next year.
Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time commenter…
I did not receive an email, do we think this means good news? I’m trying not to get my hopes up, especially since my university’s spam filter catches everything except what is ACTUALLY spam! (: but does anyone know how this works?
@Holly4907 I am wondering the same thing right now. I have not received a notifications email and there is also no Finalist link on my ISTS account so I have no idea. Also, don’t want to get my hopes up. Waiting on edge!
I did not get selected either. Bought Prime for no reason -_-
@SunshineG I just don’t have any experience with stuff like this. I guess they plan to notify the winners at another time…but like I said, I am trying not to get my hopes up! Until I know for sure whether or not I got it, I’m just trying not to freak out! I wish I knew if anyone had received an email saying they won so I knew if my email had gotten caught up in the spam filter! The only thing making me feel slightly better is that all the other emails from ISTS did not go straight to spam.
Yea what’s odd is that I didn’t get a notification about being a semi-finalist. There was just a link that appeared in ISTS. Really hoping especially now no news is good news. Also, my emails from them have been going into my inbox and nothing in spam mail… Really hoping to get it because it’s the only way I can go to school next semester! I literally have all my eggs in one basket, which I know isn’t smart. Army wife here and lets just say the pay isn’t great…
@SunshineG WOW! I’ll be praying for you that you haven’t received an email because you are one of the award winners! I have so much respect for military families! I really hope things work out for you!
I was fortunate enough to get it. I received an email at about 6pm EST from ContactUs@applyists.com (maybe you guys can search that to see if it ended up in spam). There is also a new link in my ISTS account to accept the award, says the deadline is May 21.
Idk!! Just driving me crazy. I don’t have anything and I searched for the email address and everywhere in my email. Since there is not a new link like megaminx I’m going to assume I didn’t get it and maybe try to call tomorrow. Glad we are at least all finding out. Nothing is worse than the waiting game!
How do I apply for the new one that goes from August 18 - November 20 and is for fall 2016, does anyone know? I’m on the 6-month free trial amazon student and there’s no apply button. There’s only a button for getting alerts when the contest opens… ???
Does having an amazon prime account qualify you for this scholarship, or only an amazon student account?
I am considering applying for this, but after seeing this thread, I’m not so sure…
