<p>Hey everyone - just wondering how many other people qualified for and applied for this scholarship. I sent in my essay/cover letter today. Chances are feeling pretty slim since there are only five of them and some people from my school with higher stats than me are applying for it. On the odd chance that I receive it, though, 10k a year would be amazing.</p>
<p>Well I talked to kids from school and about 5 (that I know of) applied for this scholarship. One student from the city's other high school applied as far as I know but its students tend to be smarter than my school's so I'm sure there were probably more. Also I know of 2 CC members who applied. Anyone else?</p>
<p>I'm from VA and I'm applying for it. Like you, I think all of our chances are pretty slim, but you're right, 10k would definitely be awesome since regular OOS tuition is just crazy.</p>
<p>From Michigan, sent my thing the other day. Just got confirmation that it arrived. Apparently, Oakland County counts as "greater Ann Arbor area." I didn't know of anyone else around where I live (certainly not in my school) applying, so I was hoping only a few people were notified. Apparently not...</p>
<p>How did you get confirmation? Through the mail or email?</p>
<p>dococtopi I believe you get 20k actually because you're out of state. Yeah I was hoping that there were around 20 notified but it seems like its probably closer to 100 :/. I hope this isn't my only chance for merit aid from U of M... I'm in-state btw</p>
<p>Uh. What's the cover letter?</p>
<p>Also, send to VA, right?</p>
<p>A cover letter is just an introduction to your essay - I just wrote three or four short sentences thanking them for considering me, saying that my essay is enclosed, etc. And yes you're supposed to send them to the address indicated on the letter, which is in VA. Now all we have to do is wait for a decision :/</p>
<p>Has anybody received word back from the scholarship committee? I think decisions are supposed to be released before March 1, so good luck to all that applied!</p>
<p>nothing yet here… my chances are feeling increasingly slim as it gets closer to the 1st… I wonder if they notify everyone to give them a decision or only those who they’ve chosen for the scholarships.</p>
<p>They’re supposed to tell us by this Sunday… I wonder if we’ll hear by letter or e-mail. Has anyone heard back yet?</p>
<p>Didn’t get anything in the mail today, so if one of us indeed gets it, hopefully it’ll be by email or mail tomorrow!</p>
