<p>Has anyone else applied for the Jack Kent Cooke College Scholarship? I have been reading last year's forums regarding this scholarship, and everyone has talked about a "phase two". Does anyone know if they are doing this this year, and if so, have any of y'all been notified of advancement?
PS: When can we expect final results? </p>
<p>I applied for it too and I emailed them and they said there is no phase 2 this year and that they’ll start sending decisions once they’re done reviewing everyone’s applications. I’m not sure when to expect final results :/</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many JKC applicants there are this year, and how many scholarships the foundation is offering?</p>
<p>@jayjaylez the website said that they offer around 40. I’m wondering how many applicants there were as well.</p>
<p>Does anyone mind talking about their story or/and GPA, so we can all get an idea of the type of JKC applicants there are this year?</p>

I’ve been waiting anxiously as well to hear back from them. The other day I logged onto the account and it said something along the lines of “results - deadline: January 9th” and had a random name next to it. I logged back in today and that had disappeared. Anyone heard anything regarding this?

I didn’t talk a lot about my struggles growing up; I mostly talked about my accomplishments despite coming from a low income family. Hope this helps!
@cornyandiknowit that’s impressive ^^ I think I stand no chance. Wish the best luck to you all.
@danrue15 I had the same thing, I wonder why it disappeared…
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know when they will announce the winners of the scholarship?
The anxiety is kicking in right about now 
Mid-march.
Thank you!
How is everyone feeling?
hella stressed and hella hoping things work out
Definitely hoping Can never count on uber-competitive ones like this, though, so we’ll just have to see. Fingers crossed for everyone
Has anyone heard back about this yet? I applied too and haven’t received an email or a phone call.
I have not heard back as well. I’m assuming they get back to us in the next week or two. Do you know if they will onlt call or email the applicants who are accepted or everyone who applied?
@jayjaylez I read on last year’s thread that recipients will receive a phone call; all others will receive an email. I don’t know if that’s true this year, however.
@lethallydia Thanks for that info. The website also says that the winners wil be notified at the end of March, so I’m assuming we will have to wait for another week or two…
It should be next week; I was told mid-March. Recipients will receive a phone call, non-winners an email.
