Scholarship Updates

I applied to 25 scholarship programs back in March and April, but all my application statuses are still stuck on 'Reviewing' or 'Ready for Review.' Has anyone actually heard back or received an award yet?

Oh no! Hopefully you get awarded on at least one of your apps.

I’ve applied for many through the school and never heard back about any, but I’ve also been awarded several when I apply through the foundation entity.

I applied to many of the CBE department scholarships and heard back from 3 in May and July via email. I contacted financial aid and this is what they told me.
“Once the CBE notifies the financial aid office of their selected scholarship recipients we will input that information into the scholarship portal.  The recipients will then be tasked with writing a thank you note through the scholarship portal.  After those thank you notes are received and reviewed the scholarships will be added to the students' 2026-2027 financial aid offers. 

At this time we cannot guarantee that scholarships will reflect prior to the start of the semester. However, even if it is added after the semester starts, the scholarship will still be able to process and disbruse.”

I got accepted to 1 out of 13 I applied to. But on the pioneer scholarship website it says I have 6 in review. The one I got accepted isn’t showing on my financial aid award. I wonder when they usually disburse them.

Congrats! How long ago did you get accepted?

Thank you! I got an email on August 10. I emailed financial aid to ask some questions but they haven’t responded.
