Kohl's Kids Who Care

<p>My mom nominated me for the Kohl's scholarship on the cut-off date. She had great difficulty submitting the nomination and wasn't real sure it went through. I did receive a letter and gift card about a week ago saying that I was a store winner. Has anyone heard back about the national winners?</p>

<p>son also won this and the paperwork said they would notified regional winners ($1000) in late june. i would think the national winners get notified in similar timeframe.</p>

<p>Where do y’all live? I nominated my daughter for this but she hasn’t heard anything. I thought she would at least get a local gift card.</p>

<p>from the northeast. congratulations letter and gift card were dated may 17, received may 20.</p>

<p>southern california, recieved about 3 weeks ago</p>

<p>if you win gift card, does that mean you cant win 1000 scholarship?</p>

<p>if you get a gift card, it means that you are a store winner and your application will be forwarded for the $1000 regional scholarship</p>

<p>so since i havent received a gift card by now, that means i have no chance…thanks for the info</p>

<p>you should check the website, and see if they have released the names of the store winners</p>

<p>Nothing on website. Haven’t heard back except for being store winner. At a banquet today, one kid said he was a regional winner and was waiting to hear about national.</p>

<p>@maverick: You were invited to a banquet? where Do you live and are you also a regional winner or just a store winner? Do you know when that kid found out that he was a regional winner?</p>

<p>Correct me if i’m wrong but it states it in their website that regional/national winners aren’t announced until July…?</p>

<p>that’s right - regional winners have not been announced yet. the kid above who said he was a regional winner was probably just confused and was actually a store winner. also, the banquet he talks about was probably his school’s banquet, not a kohl’s thing.</p>

<p>Nothing on the website but regional winners were notified via FedEx overnight about 2 weeks ago.</p>

<p>I hate to be stupid but I can’t seem to find that anywhere on their site that regional winners were notified. Could someone direct me? Thanks.</p>

<p>here’s a list of 2010 regional winners:

<p>For the national winners, it says the $ is sent to the student’s address and the check is written to the school. Does that mean it has to be used within x number of years? What about using it for graduate school instead of undergrad?</p>

<p>i really don’t like how this scholarship is only based off of the nomination. like, what if your nominator wrote crappy essays? idk i just wish we would’ve done the app ourselves.</p>

<p>My daughter said the same thing. Hopefully it is judged on the merit of the activities not on the merit of the essays.</p>

<p>Persianprincess… are you going to Coca Cola weekend in Atlanta? I think I saw that in other posts. Are you going for this too? Was your nominator a teacher or someone from school?</p>
