Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship 2015-2016

The results will be out around April, that’s what they told me. Hopefully we’ll get an answer late March. Good luck everyone!

Check Your Emails! Notifications of semifinalists are going out right now!!!

Yes, I am hoping late march, the earlier, the better!

Just got an e-mail! Good luck to everyone :slight_smile:

did anyone receive any emails from the JKCF?? It looks like this year is different

Just got an email saying that I am a semifinalist. Good luck to you all!

@optimisticky If you could, could you please walk us down what happened after you were chosen as a Semifinalist? Reading through the FAQ in the JKCF website (which seems a bit outdated), it mentions that they will be asking for:

  1. A new letter of recommendation from a professor
  2. An additional letter of recommendation from a mentor
  3. more financial information

Was this the case for your class?

Thanks!

I got a rejection email today. Good luck to everyone else! I am glad I atleast tried. I learned the important thing is to always have something else lined up. Although I did not win, I recieved the Presidential scholarship from Illinois Institute of Technology. I also know that God has something else in store for me. I wish everyone else much success !! :slight_smile:

I received an email today from the JKCF, anyone else did?

Wishing the best! and that is amazing! Truly, God is great and always trust him! Wish the best @tallkekepink95

Thank you so much @mariamsaleh. I wish you much success on your journey too. God is truly amazing, he’s able.

@tallkekepink95 Sorry to hear! But, congrats on the Presidential Scholarship!!! I wish you the best.

I also received notification of being a semi-finalist :slight_smile:

The administrative person from my campus who oversees applicants here contacted kent cooke committee today and they said that we will have a scholarship adviser who will contact us, they will request things and they can also answer any questions we have.

@muffinpoptarte Sweet! Congrats :slight_smile: I’m sure all of us would appreciate any additional information you come across. This is exciting!

Does anyone know how many semifinalist there are?

Wow, I just got my semi-finalist notice and I’m excited. Same question as jakobe2020 though how many semi-finalists are there usually?

@Jouuuu there wasn’t a tiered selection process last year, so we weren’t notified until the final decisions were made. some scholars claimed the foundation required additional information from them.

i have heard they received more applications this year and are trying to prevent delays.

where are you all hoping to go? have you applied?

i wish i could experience your excitement vicariously! that feeling is so important!

@tallkekepink95 major congratulations on the prestigious presidential award from ITT. you’ll do very well. try not to think of it as winning or losing. by the way, i love ITT’s campus. terrific school.

Good luck to everyone and keep us updated!! @muffinpoptarte

Yes this morning

Hi all I found this message board just today and was glad to see other applicants! I applied as well and got a semi-finalist email yesterday. Good luck to all!!’
