Has anyone gotten an email that they got a scholarship yet? When are applicants supposed to be notified?
From the Texas Exes Scholarship website: Most students selected to receive a Texas Exes scholarship will be notified by June 1.
Mid February was when semi finalists were notified in recent past years. Here is a thread that spans multiple years. It is very competitive. And really hard to tell what they are looking for from year to year. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-texas-austin/1039815-40-acres-scholarship-p1.html
My son just got an email that said all semifinalists will be notified by Jan. 23, 2015. So any time next week. Phone interviews will be done and then finalists named.
@SATX53 I think you might be confusing that with the Forty Acres Scholars Program, as I received the same email as well.
did everyone who applied for Forty Acres get the same email? or does it indicate any likeliness to be a semifinalist?
I think all Forty Acres applicants received that e-mail. I do wonder whether those not selected as a semifinalist will receive any notification that they are not being considered further.
