Jack Kent Cooke Foundation College Scholarship

DD email said to expect to give more information. Something along those lines.

I still havent heard back from them!! What should I do!

@awakeningvenus sorry thatā€™s all I know. I have no idea what extra supplemental materials we would need to submit.

Just want to reiterate that I won last year and never received a semi-finalist notification. Itā€™s my understanding that no new materials are requested, sinceā€¦ I didnā€™t do anything beyond the first application.

I was also notified that I was a semifinalist!

has anyone heard anything?

3/4/16 was deadline to upload your additional info (last semester grades / financial). Give them about 10 days.

Iā€™m going to assume I didnā€™t get it because after the semi finalist email I never got anything about uploading additional info. @yalebound2020

@SpicyTaquito - Donā€™t jump the gun yet! Maybe you are SO qualified that they didnā€™t anything else from you? Stay positive.

@SpicyTaquito I never received notification requesting additional info either.

Did anyone recieve two emails notifying you that you were selected? I received one on Feb 8 and another one on Feb 12 (when most found out).

@collegequest9844 - I received one, my mom received another one.

We just received the one. Wish we could have uploaded more information. So much has happened. Oh well, decisions come out when?

@Hope2achieve - letter says late march?

Thanks @yalebound2020 We will have all decisions in the day before we leave for spring break. So it will either be a great trip or depressing. Good luck to you!

Iā€™m a semifinalist, but I wasnā€™t asked for additional information. I donā€™t understand why they would ask some and not others, unless they already have some idea of who theyā€™re selecting. I probably didnā€™t get it.

Has anyone called to ask when decisions are being released? I know late March, but thatā€™s it.

Last year it was March 25.

The most common additional information they ask for is for financial information. When the application is being reviewed, if they donā€™t have enough info they will ask you about your financial status. I am applying for the undergraduate transfer scholarship and they asked me to provide details about my 2014 income.

When I called and talked with them, they said that ā€œThere is about 400 semifinalists and there will be another elimination process before the finalists are selected in the beginning of April.ā€

If you havenā€™t received any emails as of now, check you spam because most of my friendā€™s semifinalist email went to their spam folder.

I was selected as a semi-finalist, and they have asked me twice about addition info. The first time, they asked for tax returns and report card. Then today, they asked for the colleges Iā€™ve been accepted to and the associated financial aid package. Is this a good sign?

They told me this additional info is due March 25th, so I expect them to give decisions after that. Possibly the 30th?
