Hi Everyone! I've been following this thread for a while, and just made an account today to leave a comment. First off, congrats to those who have received the scholarship! Of course, after reading all of these it got me down seeing as though I haven't heard anything. I've been checking my credit report like crazy, and still have nothing. No emails either So I decided to call today. After 15 minutes on hold, I talked to someone who informed me that they will be working right up to the deadline due to the amount of applications they received this year. I asked if I was still eligible and in the running, and he said, "Yes. They are in the process of verifying your recommendation letters and transcripts." I'm still not sure what to make of anything. Just getting real nervous now! I'm from IL with an EFC of 0 btw. Trying to keep my head up though! Good luck to everyone.
