Oh maaan yooooou :-w
Oh and, super congratulations <3 Go celebrate!!
@arinuma I’m sure you gave eveyone in this trend a micro-heartattack. Congratualions on your achievement.
@AGoodFloridian I believe this is a good sign that we may know about the final selections sooner than we expect it.
I wish they would just release the winners through a list on their website. Im really not excited about potentially having to find out from my college. My last class is Wednesday, then I am on spring break till April 16th! GAH!
@elhanhzos MICRO, is an understatement. lol. I REALLY need to chill…
I really don’t care abut the medium whether they use their website, or email, or even a phone call. I just want them to release the list as soon as possible. I am so anxious that I visit my college rep. office every other day to know if she heard anything. And of course I have my email notification on. But still I check my email in every other 15 minutes. @norcalbusiness same I NEED to chill too…
How many awards do you think they will be giving this year? During the last three years, they awarded an average 80 high school students. I was surprised when I read the foundation awarded 106 high school students.
I’m aware that during the last years there has been a downtrend in the number of awarded transfer students, perhaps this is the year of a reversal.
This is just wishful thinking, but I’d like to remain optimistic.
@elhanhzos For undergraduate Scholarship, I think they are going to take around 45-50 students. One of the main reasons behind the decrease in the number of awarded transfer students is the amount of the scholarship. In the past, the undergraduate transfer scholarship was $30,000. However, now it’s $40,000.
Hopefully they increase the number of undergraduate students too.
Wow, I can’t believe the high school one is already out! Do any of you know how the high schools scholars were notified, like if it was just posted on the JKC site and through email?
This just made everything seem more real, seeing the winners’ excitement on social media. I really, really hope we hear back soon as well!! I’m getting so antsy over here :-SS
@arinuma Congratulations!!! So excited for you =D>
Could I ask how you heard from JKC?
@norcalbusiness Wait, this coming month? That doesn’t mean May, does it?
@poppypup No, I don’t think so. I am pretty certain they mean April.
@poppypup Yeah, I thought that too, but I don’t see it happening in May. They usually send official e-mails with decisions at the end of the month (at which point, I assume, your portal finally changes to what we saw last month).
I have a sneaking suspicion that they’ll be contacting college reps this week to surprise the scholars!
It’s really interesting how they chose mostly one person per school. :o
You can tell me are all anxious due to the influx of posts on the forum within the last couple of days ;))
@“TexasRosé_” This forum is helping me cope, lol.
It is a nice group therapy :)) [-O<
Did anyone get a request from JKC for grades?
@room4more Nothing on my end- haven’t heard anything like that from the other semifinalists in my college either. I know they did that a few years ago, but it’s been a while.
@AGoodFloridian I was reading story of a previous winner and she said she got email asking for financials and then later one for colleges and grades. They must not do it anymore then
@room4more I received a request for financials and a list of colleges I was applying to, in early February. But not a word since.
