<p>File Status</p>

<p>You have no missing documents/requirements on your file at this time.</p>

<p>I also received the email for the scholarship in mid march. I went to criser hall and they informed me that they pick 350 students from about 1000-1500 students. Of course, no scholarship is handed out to those who do not choose to attend uf by may 1st or turn in their application by may 1st. As long as you meet all the requirements and turn it in ASAP, u should get the scholarship. I believe the results come out in may/june.</p>

<p>If you’re still wondering about when the scholarship recipients are notified and for future gators who are wondering about the scholarship, I found out today I received it (4/27). My financial aid package was ready on 4/4. I had 10k in scholarships and grants( bright future, pell grant, UF grant) and 10k in loans. UF sent me an email today telling me that my financial aid package has been revised and when I checked, the FOS scholarship was apart of my package and made up for the loans(10k). So all of my needs were met! I would suggest turning in the FOS supplement as soon as possible( I faxed mine in the day after I received an email about it around 3/20 so be sure to check your email around that time) It is a first come, first serve since the scholarship is limited. The reason why I’m writing this is because I didn’t find much information on it so I hope this all will be of help to everyone who is wondering more about the scholarship in the future. Good luck to you all!</p>

<p>i still havent gotten it, i submitted it the 23rd of march</p>

<p>i turned in my application on the 28th of march. I keep refreshing my email every hr. This anxiety is killing me.</p>

<p>yea this sucks, I think we have to wait until Monday to find out because they dont work on weekends, lets just try to stay positive.</p>

<p>did u get the scholarship yet?</p>

<p>No!!! I am dying inside. Like i keep refreshing my email/ isis multiple times a day. I really, really need this and it got to the point where i even emailed them to ask about when they are sending out emails. According to them, they hope to finish all acceptions within the first two weeks of may.
On facebook, there is a group called uf class of 2016 and some people talk about the scholarship also… So everyones just waiting… I wish i turned in mine earlier but i didnt want to send it by fax.</p>
