So I called and asked what the counter sign means and she was like “let me check your status” comes back and goes “soo it just says you’re under final review. I don’t see a counter sign on...
I clicked on my contract and scrolled down and it was under my electronic signature. Thank you! I just clicked on my contract and it's under my electronic signature. I read someone last year had it...
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that my contract was countersigned yesterday at 1:49. I know that still doesn't guarantee it, but it's one step closer. I didn't receive any notification, I...
You still qualify. It’s my second bachelors and I still qualified for a federal loan. The exception is if you have already taken out the full allowable undergraduate amount for the first one....
The tuition is taxed not just the stipend. It says it in the guidelines on page 13. It also says that the federal taxes are withheld so I’m assuming they’re withheld upfront and that it’s the...
That’s a personal choice. I would think though that the scholarship would be more beneficial than taking out a loan that you have to pay back with interest. You might have higher taxes owed, but...

I’m sorry you’re going through that and feeling that way. If your EFC is 0 you should automatically be considered for a federal loan under the FAFSA that you don’t apply for separately....
Are you going for your bachelors? I think that’s what it was referred to in the guidance document, in which case I’m right there with ya! I think they did it until the last week of August last
I’m assuming since it’s similar or is grant funds that fund the scholarships, that each applicant has to meet the criteria and receives a score in each area. Many people probably score them and...
I got my credit check a few days after the finalist email so Im not sure what it means. If you sign up for something like Credit Karma, they notify you if your credit has been checked. It’s free!...
Congratulations!! Do you remember what contract period you put in your application? For example if you put June 2020 to June 2021, I would imagine they could reimburse for courses that start within...
Does anyone know how to report the award for health insurance purposes? Tax wise it counts as income, but it’s allocated for school expenses. When you apply for healthcare for 2021 you have to...
