Hello! Has anyone heard back about being a scholar at this time yet? Thanks!
I haven’t! Have you? Also, on your application portal, does the Macy Emergency Fund application show up?
@shehar17 I haven’t either. Yes, I saw it pop up on my portal. I have no idea if it means anything or not
Hi everyone! I also submitted an application but I didn’t see a Macy’s Emergency Fund application in the portal as well.

@thegrandestproof I checked my portal, and it’s no longer there. It’s getting a little confusing, and I hope that we hear back soon!
@vulpix687 I checked again today and it appeared on my dashboard. Who knows.
@thegrandestproof i checked again just now, and i am also seeing it on the dashboard too. i just want them to email us our results already
@vulpix687 What do they email around this time? A finalist notification?
@thegrandestproof from observation, it looks finalists are notified of their status sometime around the end of march or sometime in april
@vulpix687 When I clicked on the Macy’s Emergency Fund thing it said that it’s only for APIA scholarship recipients so I think we’re finalists…not sure though.
@thegrandestproof I’m really hoping the best for the two of us. Hopefully the wait will be over soon
Hi guys! I also just checked and saw the emergency fund portal on my dashboard. Fingers crossed for all of us, hopefully they update us soon. <3
I just opened my portal, I can also see the emergency fund portal on my dashboard. What does that mean?
@Jagteshwar789 We’re not sure, but we hope that it’s a good sign 
@goblinsbride just noticed, but if ur username is referencing what I think it’s referencing, I absolutely love that drama <3
@thegrandestproof you are 10000% correct haha! it’s one of the best in my opinion 
Hey guys! I was coming on here to see if anyone got a finalist notification yet or not. I noticed there was some confusion, so I figured I’d login to let you guys know. I was a scholar last year (Wells Fargo + Macy’s woo!), and I remember my finalist notification being mid April. I suspect that this year, APIA will take a bit longer to notify finalists, as they’ve just re-instated the Macy’s Emergency Fund (also a receiver of that too, lol). Previously, an applicant could apply for $500 of emergency financial aid; however, they just redesigned it and are prioritizing scholars for that program first to help students impacted by the covid-19 pandemic. The Macy’s scholarship fund is for previous APIA Scholars, but it can only be applied for if you received a special passcode for it. If you guys are not re-applying for the scholarship meaning this is your first time applying, then you cannot sign up for it. Many APIA Scholars are international students, out of state students, low income, or first generation students who need financial assistance immediately, so they’re processing those at the moment. I probably won’t be logging back on, but I figured I’d clear this up. good luck!
I got into the next round!
yup! I heard back from them last night. Am a finalist as well!
