RMHC Scholarship 2011

<p>Who else applied? Which one of the four did you apply for?</p>

<p>I know that local chapters give out a 1k minimum, and that it MAY be renewable. Can anybody verify this?</p>

<p>Can you get over 1k? It seems like the RMHC HACER has the largest scholarships. What about the ASIA, Scholars, and Future Achievers programs?</p>

<p>It says they will notify in May/June.</p>

<p>I’m asian, but I didn’t apply to that one. I applied to the general populace one.</p>

<p>^ I applied to the RMHC ASIA program. You must have applied to the RMHC Scholars program. Idk, which is more competitive? Which awards more money?</p>

<p>Iono, here is me being racist, but my dad said that the Asian one would probably have high competition (coming from an Asian rich location), and that since I’m multi-racial, I could just go into the Scholars one xD. Yep. Same amount of money if my memory serves me correctly. But yah, I don’t have any real basis for saying which is more competitive.</p>

<p>I’m also wondering. Applied to HACER scholarship</p>

<p>applied, to the general one. From the way the application works and from what I read, it looks like it’s almost like a local thing, because they said that the local chapter awards the money… do you guys know if it is or not?</p>

<p>Applied to the Scholars one, agreed that the Asian program would have more competition --at least academically (as a generalization). I also couldn’t properly respond to the different prompt about how my AA heritage shaped who I am; never took the time to reflect on that.</p>

<p>I sent my documents a few days before the deadline and the website still says they have not been received…</p>

<p>^^ Where do you find if yours has been received.</p>

<p>And I applied for the African American one. my mom thought the lower percentage of people applying the greater my chance</p>

I also sent in my application and other documents through snail mail and the website says they have received the applicatio but it says that transcript, rec, and 1040s have not been received. Is that your case as well?</p>

<p>Yeah, please return the thread and inform us when the RMHC site changes to received …</p>

<p>it says the same for me too!</p>

<p>Damn it, I don’t think I wrote about my heritage. I keep messing up on all my scholarship applications.</p>

<p>I guess you could try to contact them (<a href=“404”>http://rmhc.org/contact-us/&lt;/a&gt;). Maybe they don’t update it after the deadline. Some scholarship programs take weeks and even months (after you postmark it) to process the applications.</p>

<p>@Sunnybluesky - if you sent everything through snail mail, how are you checking the website to see if they received it?
I sent mine through snail mail too, and I want to check if they got mine.</p>

<p>Ok so go to this link and make an account with the e-mail that you wrote down in your application. This is the system RMHC uses for applications.</p>

<p>To everyone else: Please keeps us posted on wether the satus of additional documents (i.e. recs and 1040s) has been updated or changed to “submitted” or “received” regarding your application. Just keep us updated on any changes. Thanks</p>

<p>Okay. I went online and they received my application but they haven’t checked off the supporting documents as received. They say not submitted / not received for those. :(</p>

<p>My documents were verified. I guess that’s a sigh of relief.</p>

<p>@princessla92 Lucky! </p>

<p>Do you guys know of a way to contact them and verify the status of the application. I’m hoping that it’s just taking them some time to process all the documents.</p>

<p>It actually does take them days to process the documents. Look on rmhc.org they may have the contact info. Click on the PDF format of the application.</p>

<p>we have to send in 1040s?</p>
