<p>I made this thread to discuss and update the users here about news or arrivals of wootan scholarships for the year of 2013.</p>
<p>I applied. Did you apply early for this?</p>
<p>yeah I applied first day, express. I hope this year the notification letters arrive according to schedule, usually they push back the arrival date to a later date.</p>
<p>Same. Applied first day express mail. I hope so too. If it goes according to schedule, we should know by July 17th right?</p>
<p>Hello,
It is my first time applying for this scholarship but I am worried because I did not send my application the first day.
Do you guys know if they choose by the list number of the county?</p>
<p>Yes, they do try and achieve county diversity. I remember specifically that they extended the deadline for people within specific Texas counties because few people had applied from those counties.</p>
<p>Scenario: lets say you got other scholarships and those other scholarships just happened to cover all your tuition expenses for the (academic year)and then I received this, how will that surplus of financial aid in regard to this scholarship be handled? Do they take the aid back if you were initially verified or not? Thanks</p>
<p>It depends on the school. However, the financial aid you receive cannot exceed the cost of attendance. So hypothetically, if you were to get this scholarship and everything is already covered, your school would probably first reduce the self help aid which is loans and work study. After that, the school would start to reduce the amount of grant money you received.</p>
<p>The waiting is killing me! In last years thread someone mentioned their letter was postmarked July 9, so hopefully letters arrive next week. I am going to be like a little kid running to the mailbox everyday checking for that letter! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Has anyone received their notification letter yet?? I applied first day, express, efc 0, and I havent heard anything! it says mid july so Im guessing by the end of next week…idk</p>
<p>I think we will be getting notified by the middle of next week, July 17th, if all goes accordingly.</p>
<p>I applied first day, Fedex Same Day, EFC 0, ESC 1 and I’m still waiting too. 2 more days !!!</p>
<p>has anyone heard back in texas?</p>
<p>Received the letter today! </p>
<p>The letter was dated July 15, and we have to fill out the enclosed form to accept the award and mail it back by August 5.</p>
<p>We applied the first day and sent it in by Express Mail. It arrived around 1:00 pm the next day, which was quick enough, obviously. Last year before we knew better we sent the application the morning of the first day by regular mail and got nothing.</p>
<p>Woo-hoo! Good luck, y’all.</p>
