UNCF STEM Scholarship

Does anybody know when we hear back? The application deadline got pushed to February 15 so when are we supposed to be notified if we got the scholarship or not?

I can’t find it right now, but I am pretty sure notifications are not until May 15th.

Did anybody get an email from UNCF that said welcome to the student portal?

@lifeasjesus Yeah, I received the email as well earlier today.

I got it earlier too

yes that means we made it as finalists

how do you know that?

i made it as a finalist

did they send emails stating that?

@lifeasjesus

@anatomygeek34 yeah they sent me an email on april 5th with the subject line “2018-2019 STEM Scholars Program Finalist Notification”

Has anyone heard anything further or know when they will release decisions?

I think that we hear back on May 30.

Thanks, I hope not! I read the 15th somewhere.

Now the website states “around May 20th.”

well they sent an email on tuesday saying that the final selection for scholars would be by today. i’m so nervous!

@lifeasjesus Sunday seems like a really odd day to release decisions. I found the thread from last year, and I want to be optimistic, but it looks like the winners all received packets in the mail prior to the email release. I guess that could explain the Sunday notification–allowing mailing time through Saturday, then just sending out an automated email today. I hope it isn’t the case…

I think things might be different this time since the deadline was pushed back. Like they may not be as organized as usual

I have not gotten an email or anything in the mail. I think if you are selected you get a package. Did anyone get an actual package? Im going to check my status on the portal.

The portal doesn’t seem any different. I can’t imagine that they are working at 8pm on a Sunday night, or at all on a weekend for that matter… This is not being handled very well. Since no one has reported receiving a package there is still hope though!
