DHS and PTA Notifications

There have been no Stamps interviews yet. The interviews by phone that took place for some were done by Tulane for their own reasons. The Stamps interviews will be done by Skype and will involve people from the Stamps Foundation.

I wonder if the appearance of an Express “ticket” and a ground one is just an internal thing for their system because the package flies to wherever and then goes on a truck to the home. Just speculation.

What are the odds that they haven’t shipped out all of the awards yet? That they may ship them tomorrow or thursday- due to the bad weather maybe?

@LittleR This is from the Tulane Facebook group: All Paul Tulane snd DHS letters will be mailed at the same time in next day shipping. It may take longer to get to further places around the country (and world) based on UPS

Did anyone get a call or email for Stamps?

could someone explain to me how to find out whether you have an incoming passage on the ups site?

Would those of you that are expecting your award packet tomorrow please post your application statistics?

Let’s wait until the awards actually arrive and then use the “form” I posted in the Original Post.

@cthrel Make a UPS account, then go to UPS My Choice, then my settings, then alerts. There you can make it so you get an email or text every time something is going to be delivered to your address via UPS.

Also, through UPS you can get an alert as early as “Day Before Delivery”, so if you live more than one day away from NOLA you won’t get a notification until later I assume.

Have DHS applicants all been notified already (recently) if they are or will be scheduled for a Stamps Foundation Skype call?

Thanks @celegood 
 It says I have a package coming in tomorrow from Tulane!

no problem @cthrel. if I may ask, where do you live?

Has anyone from California received a notification?

@fallenchemist or anyone else, do you know if in the past sometimes the UPS notifications weren’t accurate? I am still trying to have hope


Anybody from MA already got a notification?

I read that last year someone on the deferred list received one the scholarships. I don’t remember if it was PTA or DHS. I cannot find the post now. The way I understood the post, she didn’t get the notification of the scholarship when everyone else did. She got it closer to April when she was accepted. The reason being they couldn’t award a scholarship before the applicant was accepted, so it was held onto until she was. Does anyone know if this is possible for people on the deferred list this year? Certainly many people who were deferred have excellent stats.

Hi serachngmom,
I was deferred this year and applied for DHS and PTA. I emailed admissions and they told me that if I win one of these scholarships, I will be notified in February along with an acceptance to Tulane. Otherwise, I will be notified of acceptance/denial in April with the rest of the admissions pool. Hope this helps!
