Jack Kent Cooke 2018-2019 Undergradate Transfer Scholarship

I just got ahold of my colleges’ Cooke rep, and said that he hasn’t heard anything yet, but probably next week. He spoke to the foundation this morning and they ARE indeed still working on the list of finalists. The list will probably be final by early next week, but some colleges are starting to be notified if they have a finalist at their school. Its rolling notifications at this point.

@norcalbusiness can confirm. My colleges rep is at the honors college office and I just heard they’re waiting anxiously and haven’t received any news yet, and that they traditionally like to announce it at commencement. This is confusing because we don’t graduate until May, so wouldn’t JKCF send out the email to the finalists before then?

@sfl_history-anim Yes. The person who spoke to my colleges’ rep today, said that email will most likely be sent out to finalists in about two weeks. So you’ll definitely hear from the foundation themselves before may, and definitely before you graduate.

@yadav2 so since I was told I wasn’t a finalist does that mean I could be? Or that Im not and they just weren’t supposed to tell me?

@room4more I don’t want to end your hope. But I believe that you are not a finalist and they just weren’t supposed to tell you. I really hope that I am wrong.

@yadav2 I agree with you

Did anyone else heard anything?

No :slight_smile: but I’m feeling optimistic. @yadav2 How was your meeting, friend?

@elhanhzos It was not about this scholarship. My college offer some kind of award like $2500 per semester to two students who are transferring to four-year university. So, I one of the awardee for that scholarship for next 2 year for my further studies. However, I am still hoping to get some good news from JKC very soon.

@yadav2, those are always good news, I read about your accomplishments on the debate team, I’m sure you are a strong candidate to get the JKCS.

Yesterday, I found out that I won 2 more scholarships that will support cover my first year once I transferred, but apparently, they sent me the email by mistake (they haven’t given the official announcement of the winners). It was the same story with the JKCS.

I know everything will be okay at the end of this month, but these last days have been very nerve-wracking.

I just think it’s so amazing that when something this big happens to you, the first thing you think of is everyone who helped you along the way. I don’t care rn if it’s cliche, but none of this would’ve happened without the relentless support that I was blessed to receive by those at my college and beyond.

It’s still registering for me, today feels like a dream. But in this moment of clarity I can say that I am officially a scholar.
Happy to be part of the family <3

Damn I feel like so much good news is gonna come before the 10th. Please share your reaction when you find out, we’re all here rooting for you.
