The Unofficial SMART Scholarship Forum

Yep. Wasn't selected. I'm crushed, but not deterred.

On a better note: Congratulations to those of you who received an award! I hope it takes you far.

Just got the email. My application was not selected which sucks.

Tomorrow through end of next week will be it. They put out early May so I'm not confident we hear anything this week.

Has anyone gotten anything yet?

Yes, also received that email. Budget for Dellums has to be tight as reason for wanting to know schools prior to awards and not being able to change decision once school is selected. They can't have 25 go to Harvard when they are only budgeted for public schools.

Did everyone receive the "Save the Date" for orientation email they sent on Feb 14 for Dellums?

Where did you all get interviews?

Yeah I agree it's a little weird that they have the Dellums awards in May. I had to go for my safety school due to the potential of "No Money". Maybe Dellums is more of an afterthought?

I have not received any updates from facilities or Smart either. I guess the good news is that I received an interview as well. The SF was not on my list of preferred locations however. I thought the interview went well but I am not crazy about the location.
It is a bit strange that they said decisions are in May. i am still trying to decide between 2-3 schools and have to submit one before knowing what other aid they will provide for room and board.

Oh yeah and I received an email about saving a date in July for orientation.

1 interview. Haven't heard anything from the Dellums central office people. Stinks that decisions are after May 1 because I am still deciding between schools and now have to put down multiple deposits.

I know that it has award announcements down for May for the Dellums awards, but has anyone heard anything?

I haven't gotten any emails from the scholarship foundation or any interviews either? Not sure if my application was just *that bad* or what.

Anyone else had different experiences so far?
