Spring 2018 Excelsior Scholarship

I’m currently a freshman undergrad from a private college and I’m transferring to a cuny school. I applied for excelsior scholarship 2018 when it was opened but my application is still processing. I already sent all the documents they need such as consent and official transcript, but I haven’t heard anything from them. I emailed them but they told me it is still processing and they don’t have a timeframe. Does anyone know what’s going on or going through the same problem?

facepalmz, you will not believe the number of students that are still waiting for a decision!! i bet they are understaffed…call HESC and select option 4 on your phone if you have not heard anything by now…i have read stories from students who have been forced to take on a student loan because of the very long wait…hopefully HESC will fix the problem by the time the application period for the fall 2018 starts. computer problems i betcha…
