<p>Has anyone had Walmart’s scholarship funds deposited into your college accounts? My son’s hasn’t shown up yet and soon we will need to make payments to the school. I assume it will arrive any time now. Can’t believe this summer is going by so fast!</p>
<p>Just checked the WalMart website. Checks should be mailed after August 1st according to the FAQ.

<p>Your Sam Walton Community Scholarship check was mailed to your college on July 28, 2011
Our policy is to allow 3 weeks for the check to reach its destination. If, after 3 weeks (21 days) from the mail date, the scholarship funds are not in your school account, please follow these steps:</p>
<p>Contact your financial aid advisor directly to inquire about the receipt of the scholarship check.</p>
<p>If your financial aid advisor tells you that your college never received your scholarship check, ask your advisor to notify us of this by email at <a href="mailto:walmartscholarships@act.org">walmartscholarships@act.org</a>.</p>
<p>The email must include the following:
your full name
confirmation that the college did not receive your scholarship check
the college mailing address (to ensure our contact information is current)</p>
<p>Once we receive the email confirmation from your college, we will order a stop payment (void) of the “lost” check and start the process of reissuing a replacement check. Please note: it will take approximately 3 weeks from the date we receive the confirmation email from your college before the replacement check will be mailed. </p>
<p>PLEASE SHARE THIS EMAIL WITH YOUR FINANCIAL AID ADVISOR.</p>
<p>Thank you,
Walmart Foundation Scholarship Programs</p>
