Hey, dudes, back @ it again trying to get a big gay scholarship in the year 2016-2017. Anyone else apply for Point this year?
I applied.
Oh cool, what state are you from? I’m from SC
From California
Did any of you hear back about semi finals? I just sent off my materials last week. Wishing you all good luck!
@GranolaPioneer Hi! Yeah I’m a semifinalist! I sent my materials out two weeks ago to be safe, as I live in SC!
@NayaTheVA I was alerted pretty late about my semifinalist standing! Like Feb 14th. I was really scrambling to get things in because I’m from IA. I was a semifinalist last year but did not get a phone interview. Have you done a phone interview before?
ayyy also made it to the semi finalist round! and also from SC!
@GranolaPioneer Nah, I’ve never one a phone interview before! This is my first time applying!
How much is this scholarship? Is it 10k for each year of school (so 40k)? I remember reading that it’s usually 10k per year and you can reapply or something. Do you need to reapply each year to keep getting it?
Have semifinalists heard yet about phone interviews?
I just heard back today that I have been selected for a phone interview! I also think that it is around 10k per year until you finish college. So if you are entering college as a first year, you get 40k spread out over four years. If you are an older student, you get 10k per year you are in school. Then you can apply again for grad school.
Have any other semifinalists heard back about getting a phone interview? When is the last possible day to hear back about a phone interview?
Haven’t heard back about a phone interview yet, fingers crossed so tight they’re bleeding. I’m not sure of any last. Day for phone interviews, but I do know it’s on a rolling basis for a week and a half.
My daughter was notified several days ago. Her interview is this week. I know people on CC would rather get a sense of what’s going on then be left in the dark. I think maybe all the emails went out.
@curiouscollege1 I wouldn’t be quite so sure, Point has said emails will be sent out on a rolling basis the week of the 12th, and it’s only Monday.
I hope you hear something. Best of luck!
Ive been anxiously waiting on an email for a phone interview. Apparently, I ended up here.
Their language is ambiguous I’m unsure if all finalists get to be interviewed by phone.
@patnyc Yeah the language is ambiguous, I agree. It’s clear that not all finalists get called, however, as they use consistent phrases “some semifinalists”.
I also noticed the very ambiguous language so I sent them and email and sent a current scholar an email asking these things so if I hear back I’ll let you know!
