Gates Millenium Scholarship Official Thread 2013

<p>I called and got the 5 documents message but I’m trying not to celebrate yet, I know we all still have one more round to go. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>I listened to the entire message and didn’t hear anything about sending in forms. :/</p>

<p>I worked really hard on it. I’m sad to hear the letter sent in the mail. I checked my email have got nothing so far. Asian from PA. I still have small hope that I’m a finalist still</p>

<p>Congrats!!! I’m just going to keep praying and bragging on my God!</p>

<p>Hi guys, </p>

<p>I was just wondering how you guys get to the part where they tell your status if you are calling them. Do you have to select “other”?</p>

<p>I applied to more than 10 already, mostly the ones HSF was offering me along with like 5 others my counselor sent me. Haven’t been awarded for any at all yet, the reason being that they all send award notifications sometime after April :frowning: </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity… anyone here from Texas??</p>

<p>@Karlerzz
I’m a Hispanic from Texas.</p>

<p>I’m from Texas!</p>

<p>Has any African Americans found out from UNCF?</p>

<p>That’s EXACTLY what I was asking. I’m an African American from Florida! Let’s just pray we find out soon</p>

<p>I’m so confused. ._.</p>

<p>What’s UNCF??</p>

<p>Yay Texans! Did you guys get the 0-5 docs message?</p>

<p>Unfortunately no :confused: I’m still hopeful that I’ll get finalist status though</p>

<p>I got the same response, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we are rejected. I’m not losing hope!</p>

<p>I’m confused. What is happening? Lol.</p>

<p>Doctarinin, we’re talking about what the message said when we called the 877 number. Whether we got the “the letter was sent” message or the “letter was sent and 0-5 documents” message. The “letter sent and 0-5 docs” most likely means you’re a finalist.</p>

<p>And we are talking about UNCF, the portion of Gates Millennium that deals with African Americans. You get your finalist letters from your branch.</p>

<p>@bellarmine UNCF is United Negro College Fund I think. Anyone here from Georgia?</p>

<p>Woop, I got my finalist letter in the mail today. FYI- I’m in CA.</p>
