@AGoodFloridian. Yes, thanks, I know about that and I am applying for that. We are also starting a program scholarship gathering where students from our college can work together completing scholarship and college application.
On the JKCF website it states that the 2018-2019 semifinalists will be announced in December.
Hi @“TexasRosé_” I was wondering where it said on the website that semifinalists will be notified in December? I’ve been looking at the website for a while now and I can’t seem to find that.
All I found was this on the undergraduate scholar page:
"November 2017 - March 2018
Applications reviewed by scholarship review panels.
Early April 2018
Notification of award status is emailed to all applicants.
July 2018
Cooke Foundation Scholars Weekend – attendance is mandatory for all selected recipients."

Received rejection email just now guys. Good luck to anyone else moving on.
I just received an email that I was selected as the semifinalist. Good luck to you all.
Someone from my college received a sem-finalist decision today! Looks like they’re getting back to us yiiikkess
OH MY GOD I WAS CHOSEN
SEMI FINALISSST CLUB
I am a Semifinalist, good luck everyone.
Thank you @GoldenState1, I wish you good luck, you have truly an inspirational story.
I made Semifinalist! Congrats everyone!!!
I was rejected. Honestly, I was firm believer that i’ll make it to finals and win the award. Unfortunately, I didn’t even make it to semifinals. I’ll apply to as many 100% meet financial need universities, and hope for the better. Good luck to you all.
Hey guys, did anyone applied to PTK scholarship? Does anyone knows what will JKCF asks from the semifinalists? In they email they said that keep your email open as they will be sending important email.
I am so sorry to hear that @mohamedali0923. Don’t let this discourage you. There are so many moving parts to this scholarship there is really no way to know which aspect did not land you as a semifinalist. It could even have nothing to do with you and could have been something like the recommenders. My point is, you are a strong candidate and I am sure you will have little to no issue transferring in to a selective school and getting your financial need covered. I wish you the best on your journey toward success!
@chintanp Well from what I can tell from lurking on past JKCF threads, it seems like they will reach out to us for more financial documents and to also see if we have any updates on which universities we have applied to/ received acceptance or rejections. So… time to make the most of our winter break and get cracking on admission apps!
I can’t believe that I made semifinalist.
I’m so happy to say that I’m a semi finalist for the JCK Scholarship!!! I look forward to see what 2018 has in store for me. Does anyone know if they pay for our plane ticket to the Scholars weekend if we win ? I’m just curious, since it’s a mandatory event.
Congratulations on being named a semifinalist! I am a JKCF 2016 UG Transfer Scholar, so I can say they def pay for ALL travel expenses (plane, ground transport, meals, hotel, plus extra goodies!) to get winners to Scholars Weekend. I will be there next year, and hope to meet all of you! Good luck! The waiting is the worst part.
How long do we have to wait untill the finalists are announced? Also, will my grades affect my chances of getting the scholarship. Because O had bad semester and of my classes is having bad grade
Hi everyone, just found this forum. Congrats to you all! I am also a Semifinlist for JKC. Still waiting for them to send me another email for addtional information…
