<p>Anyone receive it? I did not get it :(</p>
<p>I got it! Very excited after losing the Sam Walton Walmart scholarship and a few others.</p>
<p>Congrats!
How much was it again? And what is the process of sending it off to the colleges?</p>
<p>I got it, but I have a question, on my application I put graphic design and i’ve switched it to advertising design with a minor in graphic design, they’re pretty similar so do you think it would be okay?</p>
<p>Well, Marketing is one of the accepted majors so I would think it is okay, but… when my son asked if Aerospace Engineering was acceptable he got a rather curt email that said ONLY the listed majors were acceptable. So he put down Mechanical. Ticked him off a little because his friend who just graduated AE is working for a car company!</p>
<p>I hope it will be okay but I’m really excited I got this.</p>
<p>My son is out of town for two days and I see he has an email in his inbox from BuickAchievers. All I can read of it is “Dear Mr. John Doe…” If he was a winner would it start out “Congratulations”? I can’t reach him to ask permission. And he has an envelope from AMS that arrived today ,too. Going to be a long weekend.</p>
<p>mine says the same thing, then goes on to say congratulations.</p>
<p>^And I will second that congratulations. It’s a very nice scholarship, especially since it will extend a 5th year for BS/MS students.</p>
<p>The message title says: Buick Achievers Scholarship Notification</p>
<p>The first lines say:</p>
<p>May 20, 2011</p>
<p>Dear First Name Last Name, (there is no Mr. or Miss)</p>
<p>Congratulations!! You have been selected as a provisional recipient in the 2011 Buick Achievers Scholarship Program.</p>
<hr>
<p>When one clicks on the link to accept, there is a file that allows a person to type in information. There is will allow changes to what was on the original (in our case, the college has changed) and they only want you to put in info. that is different. They ask for you to print it. It has a publicity release and disclaimers. Also have to send the current transcript so they can verify what was on the application.</p>
<p>I’ll be very interested to see if anyone here posts that they received the 25,000 dollar amount. They announced the first five of those (out of 100) really quickly. I only received the $2,000 per year, up to five years, but I am SO GRATEFUL!</p>
<p>@Saytruewords,
I did.</p>
<p>hey! for your buick achievers scholarship notification did it say up to 25,000 or 2,000?</p>
<p>up to 25,000</p>
<p>Did anyone receive an e-mail saying that they got your packet? I hope to hear back soon.</p>
<p>Hey you’ll I am also a recipient of the Buick Achievers Scholarship. I want to know if you all have heard anything about it. Stuff like confirmation, and approval as recipien of the scholarship… Thank you all.</p>
<p>No, I haven’t</p>
<p>Got my confirmation today!</p>
<p>Here’s the email I got:</p>
<p>"Dear __________,</p>
<p>We have received your paperwork for the Buick Achievers Scholarship Program. The information you submitted on your application has been validated by your transcript and 1040 tax return. You are now confirmed as a recipient of the Buick Achievers Scholarship.</p>
<p>An official notification letter will be sent to your home address with details about your scholarship later this month.</p>
<p>… [then some stuff about wallet-sized photographs]"</p>
<p>This made my day!</p>
<p>Ya, I’m quite happy that I finally am confirmed. The whole “provisional” recipient kind of sounded iffy.</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten a confirmation. I’m kinda worried now. Also they didn’t ask me to send the tax form, just my transcript and the publicity release thing. Has anyone else not been confirmed yet?</p>
