<p>Has anyone here applied for the Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Scholarship????? Has anyone been nominated by their 2yr school yet???</p>

<p>I'm dying to talk to more people who are trying to get this.</p>

<p>My professor referred me to the scholarship. But I only have 36 credits so far therefore I was inelligible. I heard its alot of money though. BTW what are the requirements. Don't you have to have 60 credits or something?</p>

3

<p>you only have to have sophomore status at your CC which is anywhere between 24 and 32 credits usually, but most internal deadlines ended about a week ago so the applications could get to the committee by the 1st of Feb.</p>

<p>***? Oh well. Damn you Prof. Rom!</p>

<p>Please go to thier website: <a href="http://www.jackkentcooke.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.jackkentcooke.org&lt;/a>, all the requirement are listed there but your community college may have more requirements for you for nomination purposes. Good luck! The deadline for nominations is february 1st!</p>

<p>yea i missed the deadline cause i was so busy with apps and stuff but i was nominated.... how hard is it to get awarded?</p>

<p>I was highly recommended to do it last week and then i was told our school had a deadline that was tomorrow and i just cant get the letters by then because some of my profs arent teaching during winter session</p>

<p>Well, its mostly for people whose native languages aren't english (thats the message i got after browsing through the records of those who received the scholarship) </p>

<p>and most of these people are truly amazing. most of some have excelled in highschool and either due to financial or other difficulties, couldn't attend a 4 year...</p>

<p>based on those 2 requirements alone would knock out a huge portion of the field...</p>

<p>That's the bummer :-( I applied anyhow. Every CC can nominate 2 students out of however many submit apps and since only myself and one other person submitted apps I guess we'll be competing against all the "Somalian orphans who taught themselves 8 languages before coming to the US and solving world hunger"</p>

<p>Not to forget those crazy ppl from deep springs college....</p>
