<p>I click on the link to scholarship administrators and I can't get in. It's been down for the past two days.</p>
<p>Maybe the site is busy, since it's near the due date.
I tried to get in, but couldn't..</p>
<p>it jsut takes a REALLY long time to load</p>
<p>Jeez! I forgot to start it and the deadline's tomorrow...oh well, guess I'll just have to suffer through the long load times because I doubt anyone else from the schools around here "represented" by the local Wal-Mart even KNOW about it...so more possibilities for me to win.</p>
<p>Not only is it really slow, the application is littered with a lot of bugs. I can't finish it because I get an error message saying that they are secure and non-secure items on this site, and I say yes I want to display the non-secure items and then i get to a screen that says 'page unable to display' and I have to start over. If I say no, then I can't proceed either. This application is a royal pain in the ass, and I really think Walmart should have chose a better provider than scholarship administrators. All I need is two more steps and it would be nice if I could go back to the place I was at before I left off, but instead I have to go through every section once again with the long load times included. </p>
<p>Oh well, looks like I'll be missing the deadline, and it was all because of the great folks at Scholarship Administrators!</p>
<p>Yeah...I got to the final page and it told me I had to submit a whole bunch more stuff by snail mail with a postmark of today...screw that.</p>
<p>I finally made it to the end and I discover that I need to send a lot more crap to them by today. Screw it, its not worth it.</p>
<p>That was how I felt at the first page, unfortunately lol</p>
<p>i got discouraged when i realized that part of their rules was "people planning to do work-study sessions in 2005-2006 forfeit their eligibility." I didn't catch it earlier, and i had everything done, too. >=O</p>
<p>I'm sorry about that, simplyxme. yeah, I wish the application was easier to access so we could see the whole thing (especially the part about sending stuff) all at once, like by downloading a pdf version or something. Unless, there was and i was not aware of it</p>
<p>I mailed it in, but a day late. I'm hoping for the best...</p>
<p>"people planning to do work-study sessions in 2005-2006 forfeit their eligibility."</p>
<p>What?! Oh great. And I sent in my application and everything. What is the prize, like $1000? Add me to the list of people that think this was completely not worth it.</p>
<p>Well, in Walmarts defense, the application WAS hella easy AND they've opted to grant lots of little scholarships instead of a handful of large ones. I'm just happy because my applications wasn't marked as late!</p>
<p>The application wasn't easy, though. There were a ton of problems with the online portion, and I'm willing to bet that many people didn't even make it to the last step, where you mail other things in.</p>
<p>For me, I filled it out online, and put 1-5 for rank (because I don't know), and the site computed it as 15. It was my duty to catch it, and I messed up, and once you submit it it will never change, even if you change it, so I felt very frustrated. After that, the PDF file that is supposed to display what you need to send in wouldn't load for me no matter what I did, and I just wasn't in the mood for Walmart's antics.</p>
<p>I guess it's worth mentioning here how much I hate Walmart in theory and practice.</p>
<p>I timed out each time and never got in</p>
<p>My son did his about a week ago, and had no problems at all</p>
