Hey everyone! I wanted to start a discussion about the FOS 2016. I got the email that I was eligible. Fax everything in and haven’t heard from them since. Does anyone know when will we get notified if we are award the scholarship or not? I’m so nervous. 
Much later. Like early May I think. I didn’t even know I was eligible until I checked my financial decision on the uf Isis. When did you fax it in?
Faxed it mid-March. Did you not receive an email in your UF Outlook Mail? That’s how I found out.
Never knew I had an outlook email but now I see it thanks xD
@ismallhtownsgirl your form was acepted?
Mine was received 03/22 but has not been accepted yet .
@gatoryes they received it on 03/17. Idk if it’s accepted. How do you check?
@ismallhtownsgirl student self service page
@gatoryes it says it was received the 11th and accepted the 17th.
Ok I am waiting. …
Mine accepted 03/25 good luck !!!@ismallhtownsgirl
@gatoryes If your application was accepted does that mean you get the scholarship?
@freak21 If you’re app was accepted that just means you have all your papers in order and they’re going to review it. I contacted the UF advisors and decisions will come out between April 16 and May 1st but the person told me its most likely going to fall closer to May 1st. By the way everyone UF financial aid is out.
Exactly @FloridaBoy954
hey how did you that?
Hearing how early you guys heard about it worries me I got a text notification on the 25th about the scholarship and sent in my stuff the same day. I was received April 4th but I haven’t been accepted yet. My advisor said we could find out in the summer but I don’t get how they can do that because we have to accept May 1st, and considering the nature of this scholarship it’s probably the make or break factor for not just me, but I assume others too.
@Collegegirl54 what I heard it’s first come first serve because it’s a limited amount of scholarships. But you never know! I talked to someone from the FA office and they said we’re most likely going to be notified in May. So you’ll make your decision by then.
@gatoryes sorry i’m late, good luck to you too! I just want to know already!
If you read the comments of the previos year,you will see that it was not first come first serve…is about your family income .My income is 17000.
Which is your ???
I don’t know… Someone last year didn’t get it and they said they had an income of 9,000. And then someone else got it last year and had around 35,000. So, you never know what they use really. My mothers income is around 26,000, but my EFC is insanely low because I have a twin sister going into college at the same time, so I hope that helps!
@gatoryes I was actually informed from one of the FOS employees that it was first come first serve.
@Collegegirl54 i don’t know how it work. The las year @jennyp8 get the scholarship (aproved 4/21) and @alivezarden (04/14) not ,and her income were 9000 …
