Did anyone apply for the scholarship this year? Has anyone won it previously in the past? What exactly are they looking for or do you have any helpful tips in completing the essay? I haven’t really found many threads about it other than just one.
I applied this year…good luck!
I received notification of finalist status. Anybody else? @GreaserGyal?
@Ceciliaagnes No not me I didn’t get anything yet. Congratulations though! Did you recieve it this morning through email?
It came last night via email at 11:07 pm.
I received an email notification of finalist status Thursday night and a request for documents.
Did anyone else apply but not get the email yet? Does that mean that we weren’t chosen?
@GreaserGyal my son applied as well and has not heard back. when he logs on to his acct it has changed from processing to complete so I guess we can assume he is not a finalist. Good luck to you.
I got a package saying I was a STEM Scholar!!! I wish everyone who applied the best! <3
Hey @laviedemoi99 did you get a package in the mail today or did they email you something?
@jteel2516 Hello! I got the package this weekend, but I have not recieved an email! On the site, they said decisions are going to be released today via email! I hope this helps!
Hello:
Congrats!
Did you get a package in the mail saying that you were a STEM scholar?
Thanks
@laviedemoi99 Did anything change or update on your portal?
Anybody else hear anything? I haven’t, and my status still reads finalist; no changes.
@laviedemoi99 Congrats! I also got my award notification in the mail last weekend too! See you in Atlanta hopefully. 
@Ceciliaagnes @kboone I got the package but my status hasn’t changed on the UNCF portal, it still says finalist.
In the package there’s a document you have to sign, scan, and email by May 17 confirming your acceptance of the award.
@monkeyhouse7 Okay thanks for your help!
Did anyonele’s status changed from finalist to canidate? I’m assuming that means I didn’t get the scholarship.
@monkeyhouse7 Thank you and congratulations! Can’t wait to meet you! @kboone I need to check my portal, haha! I already scanned the document, and they confirmed the letter!
@Seaturtle12 I think it has always said ‘Candidate’ on the STEM Scholars Portal…or no? @monkeyhouse7 and @kboone what is your status on the STEM Scholar Portal, not the UNCF scholarship portal…
@7182713591 @Seaturtle12 On the STEM portal it still says ‘Finalist.’ On the UNCF portal it still says Candidate, it’s always said Candidate for me.
