Has anyone heard back from the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation?

I was selected to move on as a finalist and they’re still reviewing my application as of June 26th. Has anyone heard back or know when we’re supposed to hear back for it?

how do you know you were a finalist? They sent me an email June 26 stating that my application was selected by the SCF scholarship committee for additional review…What is that supposed to mean? Also, I haven’t heard anything back. @jdhall

I got the same email. I was just thinking that considered me as a finalist. I thought we were supposed to hear back in early August, but I have no idea what date. I tried contacting them, but no one ever replied.

@jdhall Then I guess we are finalists! But…I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHEN WILL THEY TELL US…At least an email saying which date should we expect the decision.

EXACTLY! I need to know before August 16th or I’m screwed lmfao. I think they said early August but they should give us a date or something!!

I got the exact same email on June 26th saying my application was considered for further consideration! I’ve been checking my email every morning for the past month and a half in the hopes of getting a response, but no such luck. I’ve been all over social media trying to see if they’ve announced anything. Hopefully it will be soon, I’m in the exact boat needing to know about the results before mid-August.

@brihende Have you tried contacting them? We seem to have no luck. I wish I had their phone number because it might be easier! I’m so worried.

It’s August 4th. I am so nervous. They need to tell me before August 20th…If not, I am in the same boat as you guys as well. Does anyone know a person who won last year?

@scmd111 I don’t know anyone who has. I’ve googled what happened to peoples’ decisions in the past and they got notified even when they didn’t get it…this is odd. I hope I get it though omg

@jdhall I couldn’t find a page of decisions from last year. Only till 2015. Do you think they will tell us this year? I mean, they send an email about being finalist so…I am loooosiiiinnngggg hoooppeee ;(

I hope they do!:frowning: Most scholarships I’ve applied to do anyways!

@jdhall I haven’t tried contacting them, I just hope they let us know either way, because not knowing is worse! Plus the waiting is killing me! :frowning:

@brihende Right! Hopefully they send it out on Monday or Tuesday.

It has to be this week but in 2015, they heard on the 7th…AH!

This is stressful

I honestly thought it was only me.I was told my application was chosen for further review.Lets all hope we get our responses soon I leave for college the 19th.Best of luck to everyone!

Same with me! Good luck to you too @Belize2017
