<p>Just wanted to let everyone know my son received his letter this morning, our mail comes very early. He received the full grant amount of $4,000. We mailed his application via Express mail the first day the grant was open. Also, we live outside Texas.
I provided these details because I know some of you would probably wonder, I don’t wish to disclose our EFC or finances though.</p>
<p>I hope everyone gets good news in the next few days!!</p>
<p>I forgot to add if you are a recipient you have to sign a release form and mail it back along with either your financial aid award letter, fall tuition bill OR a schedule of your fall classes.</p>
<p>My son received his award today in the mail - $3200!! I am so so happy. I mailed everything off via express mail the first day. His EFC is approximately $2700. The input everyone contributed on this thread is much appreciated.</p>
<p>Anyone have experience with going to a school not listed on the SAR that was sent in with the app?</p>
<p>Has anyone from Texas gotten the letter?</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing. It’s weird because I haven’t heard of any of my Texas friends who applied getting anything yet.
Crossing my fingers it’s this week sometime!</p>
<p>Texas resident here! Sent it first day using priority mail and nothing so far. Hoping I get it… :(</p>
<p>Ok, I got my letter today!!! I am a Texas resident. I sent my application the first day using regular mail (didn’t even think about using express smh) and I have been (im)patiently waiting since. I applied last year but didn’t send my info until two days after the scholarship opened (school informed us late) so I didn’t recv anything. My letter is dated July 12, and says I have until August 4th to reply. I was awarded $4000.00 and my EFC is 0. I am semi nervous now though because I applied listing one school, but I am going to another and I know that changing your school can result in less or no money. The reason I didn’t list the correct school is because I hadn’t been accepted as of yet. I got accepted right after I sent my info. Has anyone else had to do this in the past? What were your results?</p>
<p>I got mine today! I’m from Texas. I got $2,150 with an EFC of $2,780</p>
<p>tamuc2012 - May I ask what part of Texas you are from?</p>
<p>amk11b - May I ask what part of Texas you are from and what day did you send it in and whether you did it via express or not.</p>
<p>I’m from West Texas. I sent it the first day by regular mail.</p>
<p>Congrats tamuc2012 & amk11b! Good luck everyone else!</p>
<p>Does anyone live in Alabama, Missisippi, Lousisiana, Florida, or Georgia? If so, have you received a letter yet?</p>
<p>Robert18 I’m in Dallas.</p>
<p>Thanks slebsn13 and congrats to you as well!!! </p>
<p>Yes good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Thanks. I’m in midland</p>
<p>Rec’d our letter on yesterday (Monday, 07/16). Sent in the application on the first day that the scholarship was opened. EFC 525 and my son was awarded 3950. We live in Dallas, Tx.</p>
<p>Has anyone on the west coast recieved anything? I’m in Eugene, OR and have yet to receive anything yet:( I sent my application via overnight express mail but it was the 2nd day the application opened because I was emailed the information late from my community college.</p>
<p>Has anyone from NJ gotten their letters yet? Or east coast in general???</p>
<p>I live in Dallas and received my letter today. My grant amount is $4000!!!</p>
<p>I live in Indiana and have not received a letter yet. Sent my letter regular mail on the second day. It would be nice to get something since my FAFSA is 0.</p>
