<p>I am an apiasf finalist, and have also recieved my email; still waiting on that final letter though. Let me know if anyone recieves a letter!! GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS! :)</p>
<p>ok, i got the letter today saying "we regret to inform you..."
but who cares? i got the gates scholarship!</p>
<p>Is APIASF based on financial need?</p>
<p>i think it is since they ask for SAR...but im not sure.</p>
<p>Ok, i got the letter today, </p>
<p>"May 2, 2008.</p>
<p>Dear Dude:</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS! We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive a $2500 scholarship award from the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF)</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Again, congratulations on being selected for the scholarship award."</p>
<p>so is it possible for people to get both gates and APIASF??</p>
<p>i got the APIASF but didn't get gates and i received the news on May 8th
so hopefully everyone else heard it too</p>
<p>yayyy congratulations guys!! that's great to hear</p>
<p>u can only get one...either gates or apiasf!<br>
congrats everyone!!!</p>
<p>So ... a couple of weeks ago, I got a letter that says... "blah blah blah.. we regret to inform you that you didn't get the scholarship because you suck blah blah blah... and now they sent me another letter that says... Due to additional funding, CONGRATS you got the scholarship. Did anyone fall under this category... or was I the only runner-up?</p>
<p>I was in the same situation, ityoom. But hey, I'm not complaining!</p>
