Jack Kent Cooke Foundation College Scholarship

It’s past 5pm EDT (the same deadline to submit both sets of additional info) so i feel like they will notify on monday if anything.

They said early to mid April when I asked last week. I hate all this vagueness.

Anything yet? We are not home so no mail or phone calls to take.

@Hope2achieve I haven’t received anything.

Thought for sure it was this week.

Hey guys, I want you to check something out. Back when semi-finalist notifications came out, my portal stated semi-finalist under the status bar and the other parts of the application were listed as complete. now that I logged back on the application it says “scholar” underneath. This might not mean anything, but if you guys could check and see what it states that could clarify if they have chosen people yet (but not the whole list of people) which could be why thy keep pushing back the deadline. If everyone has scholar listed underneath, then we are back to square one of waiting.

@Philomath123 how do we access our portals?

Where does it say that at?

When did your status change? I was notified but my status never changed to Semi-Finalist. Do you think that means to I’m out?

@Philomath123

When did your status change? I was notified but my status never changed, do you think this means I’m out?

On the portal accessed at https://application.jkcf.org/login/
This is where you initially applied and (if notified) had to have your parents upload additional financial information. my friend who did not make it to semi finalist just has their status shown as complete. This might be because he didn’t get semi but mine says scholar on it.

Mine says that It’s just complete but I’m a semifinalist.

yea I’m 99.9999999% sure I didn’t get it, but all is well. Good luck to the rest of you! Congrats to those who are chosen!!!

@Philomath123
Sorry I meant I was notified as a semi finalist but my status never changed

@MasterLillyclaw That’s weird. In that case it might look like they have chosen some winners but I won’t jinx anything. I only checked because two other scholarships I have won had made me go through the portal accept the scholarship. I figured it might be up but thy haven’t told us.

My page says: “Scholar”. What do you all of your portals say???

@EarlyAction2020

I just wanted to clarify something someone said, were you asked to submit any “additional information”? Were you contacted by JKCF after semi-finalist notification?

Yes I am a semi-finalist with the additional information request for colleges. What about you? @textbooksmartie

@EarlyAction2020

I wasn’t contacted after the semi-finalist notification. That’s why I began worrying a couple of weeks ago.

This is like QuestBridge all over again!! Named a finalist and still nothing to show for it.

Anyway, great job!! I’m so happy for you and your fellow Scholars!! You deserved it!

@textbooksmartie I’m in the same boat. I’m a semi-finalist that wasn’t asked for more information. It doesn’t seem that we’re in the running, but I wonder what the point of being named a semi-finalist even is if we aren’t in consideration. But I won’t dwell on it - I got a full-ride to a small private liberal arts college.
