Gates Millenium Scholarship 2012-2013

<p>When will we find out who got the scholarship?</p>

<p>I am very nervous about this scholarship. I really hope that I do get it but I am worried that I will not be Pell Grant eligible. I am still working on the essays but should be finished by the end of this weekend.</p>

<p>I think we find out around late february to sometime in march. That’s what I found out from looking at previous years anyway.</p>

<p>Hey guys, can I put a team award in the awards section? My wrestling team won the section championship last year. Also, would I be able to put an individual championship for wrestling which I won my 9th grade year, or is it strictly awards won from 10th grade onward? Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>@rosacolon, complete your FAFSA to know if you’re eligible</p>

<p>I just submitted my application and I am so nervous. I can not wait until we get the decesion! Does anyone know when that is?</p>

<p>pseudobread, I did. My band won the state championships, and I put that. </p>

<p>And I am finally done with all my essays! Phew! Now I just gotta wait for my recommendations and nominator…I hope they are actually doing it, because I asked them before winter break, and they said they’d do it but not during the break, and I emailed them the day that we got back about it, but they haven’t responded…</p>

<p>I just submitted !!
ahhhhh , i’m so nervous & stressed. well not so much anymore that after submitting I have a weight lifted off my shoulders. but i poured my heart out into those essays… & hopefully its enough to get me the scholarship. goodluck to everyone who is applying ! (: btw… does anyone know by what dates we should be notified if we were selected as finalists ?</p>

<p>I just submitted my Gates Application!!! Super nervous! I poured my heart and energy into this scholarship and it would hate to see all my efforts not be worthwhile.</p>

<p>Omg me too! I submitted last night. I am freaking out! I worked extremely hard on this scholarship. I am hoping for the best for everyone! Good luck! :)</p>

<p>same here! and finalists are notified in mid march i believe! i am not sure exactly which dates, sorry.</p>

<p>I still have the last two essays to do arghhhhh!!! why did i wait so long? exams start this week so im stressed and now the essays? Good luck to everyone that applied. I hope im pell grant eligible cuz im on the bubble.</p>

<p>me too! my exams start tomorrow, but i just finished editing my essays and will submit soon. good luck to everybody!</p>

<p>quick question: should i include family responsibilities as part of my volunteer work? like if i translate, babysit, etc.?</p>

<p>Submitted! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Heehee I still have 4 essays to do today, so I’ll get those done after school. Th only thing I’m worried about is that my Nominator hasn’t submitted yet, and he’s a procrastinator. It would suck once I finish everything and can’t submit cuz of my teacher.</p>

<p>…Lol.Hello Everyone…
@ Emily—Don’t feel bad, I didnt start on my essays until lastnight. Not bragging because it was so hectic. I had homework and a test to study for. I was up all night. Never again will I procrastinate on something so important and time consuming. Luckily, I have an amazing teacher who was my recommendor and nominator that completed everything within two days. I hope to send my application off before 8 tonight.</p>

<p>Again Good Luck To All!</p>

<p>Best of luck to all! </p>

<p>I would not include family responsibilities under the volunteer activities. If anything, I would save them for essay #8.</p>

<p>for the accomplishments section if you don’t have hours for a certain time span do you just not include that one or select it and put zero hours?</p>

<p>if anyone needs any essays proofread, i’m down:)</p>

<p>WAIT!!! 2012-2013 apps are available!?!</p>
