I heard that the class of 2016 is the last class to receive the GMS. Is this really true? Please tell me it isn’t :((

Yes, the high school class of 2016 is the final year of this scholarship.

Gates will be funding a new program, executed by the Hispanic Scholar Fund. From what I’ve heard from my Gates Scholar(class of '15) there will be a different application process and fewer winners.

There isn’t much information on the new scholarship. I just saw some press reports. I suggest you contact the Gates Millennium Scholars Program.
