Did you get an email?

Awesome!!

[coffeelover12]

I did not, except to confirm that I accepted the scholarship.

First, congratulations. To better understand, you received notification on the NMSC Portal? Was their a link to a PDF “Scholar” letter, like there was for “Finalist letter”? And the only email you received was after you were notified via the NMSC Portal with the email asking if you’ve accepted. Thank you in advance for your help in understanding. Also, is it the understanding that notifications all went out at noon CT or are they on a rolling basis through out the afternoon? Again, thank you.

I actually did get an email at 1:50 (et) notifying me of the scholarship (posted on my portal at 1 et). On the portal, it appeared under the Finalist Letter as “Scholarship Offer,” which had a link to the official award letter.

Send a private message to an admin (like me), or email admin@collegeconfidential.com to request a username change. Be sure to include what you would like it changed to. 4. Enter your new username and click “Change” [Screen Shot 2022-02-24 at 3.53.09 PM] All done! What if I’m outside of the window to change my username? If you have an…

Congrats to the winners! So, question: when there are still some college acceptances pending, but coming very soon… it’s probably too late to try and update the colleges with this info, right?

Just received the email. Pleasant surprise!
