<p>I applied but I haven't heard anything yet. I had a friend that applied last year and won. He made it to the second round and he received that letter in April. He received his award letter in May.</p>
<p>what's next? You send them the acceptance letter and financial aid package of your college and a transcript of your grade. My friend told me that everyone who makes it to this round is almost always named a scholar. I think this is just the verification of eligibility process where they make sure your GPA is what you said it is and that you have a Pell Grant.</p>
