<p>We're down to the final week of waiting and should hear around July 1st who the recipients are. Is anyone else getting impatient? LOL!</p>
<p>You're not the only one! I constantly ask about the mail for any reply from the USA Funds.</p>
<p>I just got the e-mail for the USA Funds. I won! Yay! :D</p>
<p>We got the email, too. Yippee!!! Another $1500!!!!!!!!! Every little bit helps.</p>
<p>in the email, it just said 1500, but the scholarship is renewable isn't it?</p>
<p>congrats to all the winners. did every one get $1,500?</p>
<p>also, is it renewable? because that would be great.</p>
<p>Actually, from what I read before, this scholarship is NOT renewable this year and students will need to reapply again next year -- provided they still meet the qualifications. My older son was awarded the scholarship in 2006 at which time it was renewable for four years, but I believe because of funding concerns they are only awarding one year at a time right now.</p>
<p>So if I didn't get the email yet, should I start worrying?</p>
<p>Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn</p>
<p>could i apply next year as a college frosh?</p>
<p>have anyone tried asking if we could defer this award to another year yet?</p>
<p>OMG!!! YES!</p>
<p>I got a $4050 award! THIS IS SO AWESOME. I"VE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.</p>
<p>It's funny though because I gave up all hope of winning this thing after waiting so long. My letter came in the mailbox this morning, and I thought the last day for me to receive notification was July 1st. I got all depressed then for nothing!</p>
<p>are you talking about the USAFunds or the Charley Wootan Grant</p>
<p>Based on the amount, it has to be the Charley Wootan Grant.</p>
<p>yeah, that's what i was thinking.</p>
<p>I was like, '***, how did he get 4050, i only got 1500 for USAFunds.'</p>
<p>holy crap, why would they censor my 'double you-tee-eff'</p>
<p>Oh, I never even realized you guys were talking about the USA Funds Scholarship all this time! I didn't know about that scholarship. What are the eligibility requirements for it?</p>
<p>i don't remember the exact requirements. All I remember is that you have to be a high school senior/college student.</p>
<p>yay! I got the USA Funds also! I had given my hope on this since I didn't send in my transcript on time.</p>
<p>I still haven't heard back about the Charley Wootan Grant... is anyone else still waiting, or should I take this as an indication that I did not win???</p>
<p>I'm thinking it's a no-go for the rest of us as far as the Wootan Grant. Bummer. I didn't know about the grant right away, so although we submitted our sons in advance of the May 5th deadline, we were a little worried when we read that only the firwst 5,000 applications would be considered.</p>
<p>To the poster who received the Wootan Grant, when did you submit your application, and if you're willing, what was your EFC?</p>
<p>Thanks... and many congratulations to you!!</p>
