Buick Achievers Scholarship Program 2016 - Official Thread

Do you think it’s worth applying if my family makes 70000?

Apply and see, but it’s likely too high. I had a similar family AGI and very “pointy” STEM-unique angles and didn’t receive the scholarship. Now, that’s in no way a direct cause-effect relationship, but I did win other less STEM-focused scholarships that were more competitive even though STEM is my strength. So it does make me wonder how much financial need factors into Buick (the one friend I have that did win is very, very, very low income).

This year’s top 3 award notifications are out. Have your parents check their emails.

What do you mean the top 3 awards?

Oops, sorry! I posted in the wrong thread. I meant to post in the Burger King Scholars program’s thread. My bad!

Oh alright! Its ok, I was just confused haha.

Has anyone else been notified of their status?

Last years winners were notified around the 21st. So we’ll be anxiously waiting until the week after next.

No nothing yet, we’re all waiting.

We have not received any notification yet from Buick Achiever.

the website says we will know by april 15th

What? Where? It says late April.

Any news update?

No word yet

Same. Still no word on my end either.

Last year every one was given a response around the 20/21 of April, so for sure this week. Good luck every one!

Not necessarily^. Other scholarships (e.g., Jack Kent Cooke) notified winners last year in late March while they notified winners this year in mid April. All we can do is wait.

@Philomath123 True. I only got my JKC rejection email yesterday.

I just got an email that I am a Provisional Recipitent of the scholarship and that I just have to submit required materials.

Congrats. I have not received either provisional winner or rejection notification yet.
