Thread for seniors applying to the 2018-2019 Coca-Cola scholarship
I just got my semifinalist email!!!
Thank you for making this thread! I got my semifinalist email as well. Congrats to all.
@potatoepotatoe @WhoKnows2023 Congrats! Can you share how many community service hours in total you have in the application?
Congrats! @potatoepotatoe @WhoKnows2023 Do you guys have access to the phase 2 of the app?
Also would either of you mind posting a copy of the email? It looks like mine was trashed in spam
When is the deadline for phase 2 application?
It’s due at the end of the year I believe
@Bagette Thank you and yes the email was in spam folder.
@Bagette Yeah, on the link in the email it sent me to phase 2 of the application. From what I looked at I think it was the same service, but now you have access to another part of the application.
@oakmill In total from Grades 9-12 I have 1874 hours. The breakdown is 150 in 9th, 623 in 10th, 776 in 11th, and 325 for 12th.
Hey @Nipkas what time did you receive the email?
Oh and thanks so much @WhoKnows2023 !
I got mine Thu, Nov 8, 2018 at 4:32 PM @Bagette
@Bagette yesterday at 4:32 pm.
Weird. No email in inbox or spam. But the dashboard says I’m on phase 2.
