Robert C. Byrd Scholarship (What's the Deal?)

Paying for College
1

<p>I was selected as a recipient for the Robert C. Byrd Scholarship a while ago, but since the application was due before private school decisions came out, I listed a different college to receive the funds than the college I will be attending in the fall. </p>

<p>I was told I could easily change the school after I received the award by notifying them of the correct school. However, after calling their number several times, they are always "unavailable to take my calls" and my emails similarly received no response. (I sent emails almost a month ago.)</p>

<p>Is/was anyone in a similar situation? If so, how should I approach this?</p>

<p>You are trying to contact your state agency in charge of administering the Byrd scholarship, right?</p>

<p>Yes, the California Student Aid Commission.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m not sure what else you can do. Just keep trying, I don’t think there’s going to be a problem in the end, it’ll get to your correct school, it just might take a little longer than normal.</p>
