Point Foundation Scholarship

<p>Did anyone apply to this scholarship?
Have you received any confirmation yet?</p>

<p>I received confirmation that I am a semi-finalist late saturday night. I hope I become a finalist but if I do then I have to tell my mom...not sure how that'll turn out.</p>

<p>miadust, thats so awesome! i started an application but never finished because you have to submit a FAFSA and my parents refuse to fill one out. im out to my parents and they're supportive, but i can imagine some tension if your mom doesnt already know! maybe the thought of $40,000 will soothe her!</p>

<p>inspiration08--i don't think you need to submit the FAFSA unless you're a finalist.</p>

<p>miadust--when do you submit yours?
goshh i haven't heard anything yet. I submitted mine one day before March 1. They said that you should have been contacted by today, March 7. I guess I'm not it then :(</p>

<p>just out of curiousity...i didn't apply...but aren't those gay people scholarship..does that mean u people are gay....or what...or am i reading it wrong...</p>

<p>It is GLBT.</p>

<p>Thanks for the congrats. :) Yeah, FAFSA is something you only have to submit if you're a finalist but I hope they don't only base it on that - my social security (untaxed income) makes my EFC extremely high.</p>

<p>They only require your transcript, recs, and a resume for semi-finalists.</p>

<p>Any other semi-finalists out there?</p>

<p>Im a semi-finalist as well! This is so cool! And yeah, i dont think i’ll be telling my parents about this… the whole was reason for applying was because im a successful gay youth that has been marginalized by his own family… I was also wondering about the phone call. How will they contact me? I only have a house phone</p>

<p>To those who made it to the finals for the Point Scholarship in the past, did all of you undergo the phone interview? Any insight as to the questions one should expect?</p>

<p>For any semi-finalists from this year’s round who have already undergone a phone interview, could you also chime in about the interview format?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I am a semi finalist. I could not locate my PIN number to write on the application so I just put my name. Do you think I would be disqualified for that minor infraction?</p>

<p>2012 Semi finalist here as well. Wondering when finalist decisions will go out! So nervous. If anyone hears anything - please post! Good luck, everyone :)</p>

<p>Will be traveling to California for the Finalist Interview. So grateful for this opportunity. This is truly a great organization that I would love to be a part of! Future applicants, I wish you all the best!!</p>

<p>Anybody heard back about Semi-finals this year? If so, how’d you find out? It’s getting close and I haven’t heard back yet.</p>
