Do reward announcements come out all in a single day or is it on a rolling basis in a sense where there are "finalists," "semifinalists," etc. Also, if the announcement comes out all in one day when would we typically hear back? Is there a set date?

I heard that reward announcements are coming out April 1, though there is a chance that is wrong!

I called them a few days back and they said typically facilities will release decisions April 1st. However, since it falls on a Wednesday, there's a chance they'll release them April 6th instead, for the first week of April.

Is it confirmed that every single facility releases results on the same day?

Last year the announcement came on April 1st (which was on a Tuesday). Idk when the announcement comes if you receive the scholarship though.

Scrolled a bit back and it seems like in 2025, it was posted to the SMART Portal at 9:30 AM EST.

I wasn’t able to log into my portal this morning. Says I don’t have permissions. Anyone else experiencing this?

My portal still does not update either. Maybe that’s a bad sign. What facility did you get accepted to?

My top was MDA and I still have not gotten any notification or portal update, so sounds like many of us are in the same situation.

I just got into NWSC Carderock as well! My page didn't update until 10:19 so I sat refreshing for a bit. It may not work right away. Don't be surprised if you check in an hour and its working then
