No, you certainly aren't the only one. I just hope the decision comes in soon, because the suspense at every email I get is probably gonna give me a heart attack.

I assume since the other scholarships in previous years were announced then. It is all in the link:

I am not positive but at least it's somewhat of an estimate.

I'm guessing it will be 5 PM EST since the ASEE headquarters is located in Washington, DC.

Someone posted yesterday that they talked with SMART about the award schedule. Apparently awards aren't being released until mid-late April.
Don't hold your breath about getting anything today.

The facilities I spoke with said they thought the announcement would be the first week of April. I have heard so many conflicting dates. Best of luck to everyone!!! :) Keep your heads up!

Guess what? One of the most closely guarded secrets about the SMART program is that current scholars know who got the award before the recipients, so we get to sit here and watch you all piss yourselves in suspense as you wait for the emails. We also know how long the SPO is gonna delay the acceptance emails, just to screw with your emotions.
You're welcome.

So if we haven't gotten a phone call yet from a SPO are we no longer in the running?

I heard from two SFs with offers in mid March. I emailed both this morning to ask if they know when decisions would go out. Neither has replied yet, but I'll update you guys if/when they do.
