The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

What do you guys think the chances are of announcements being release next Thursday/Friday? I think it's a good chance since congress is about to pass the new budget bill. That will reassure SMART of their funding and us of our status.

I see what you did there.

I do not wish to add to speculation, however, it seems as though SMART has already determined who shall pass.

@CurrentScholar, do you know what the telegraphing error means?

I also don't think they'll come by next friday either. Congress is working on extending the funding bill deadline to next Friday which means the CR won't roll through until Friday at midnight. So we may not even see notifications until the week after.

My guess is that they will make the announcement next Friday, May 5th due to the fact the SMART said the beginning of May and Mr. Cavenaugh from an SF heard the first week of May from SMART. Another reasoning behind this guess is the fact that they had the telegraphing error last Friday and they are on an 80hr/9day schedule has me believing that their work week ended yesterday. Thus, nothing more will be released this week.

I talked with someone from the main office today. They told me that they are only waiting to hear about funding and as soon as that happens they will send out the notifications. All you guys can do it wait.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself get rejected from the SMART Scholarship.

I wish it need not have happened in my time.

Actually, scratch that, I wish it would happen in my time!

Anyone think announcements will go out today? It's been exactly a week since the telegraphing error came about.
