Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, I logged into my SMART profile and it notified me that I had been awarded the scholarship. Go check it out and see if they have your awards up yet.

    I just checked, and can't seem to find an accepted or rejected message... Maybe they're rolling them out, or maybe this is just a bad sign. I guess I just have to wait for the email to know

    This is probably just me grasping at straws, but for people who listed the facility they got, it was on the west coast and it was a marine or navy facility.

    Has anyone gotten an award from an army or air force facility, or one not on the west coast?

    Same! They must've caught on and disabled it. Maybe they aren't ready to roll out all awards yet. It is suppose to come out April 5th.

    Same here, I'm guessing it was accidentally released because it was dated April 5th, but it's still eases some of that tension.

    I think something similar has happened in past years. It's going to be what it is, and we'll all know eventually:-)

    Yes, The same thing happened to me. I saw I received an award, but now it has been disabled. I wonder if they are adding into the portal if you received multiple offers.
