Here's a question to all of you scholarship winners...

Who out there has actually been able to use theirs? I only know of a handful of people who have, but know of many people (including myself) who have sent several emails/various other messages for weeks, and nothing.

Would like to know who has been able to use the scholarship money or who's in the same situation, thanks.
 
I havent gotten a reply yet either. And Ive sent two emails last month inquiring about it, since I really need the money for this upcoming semester.
 
I got all my scholarship money right after I won it, like nopt past 1 month and it all went flawless. Can't remember what I actually did tho cause my mom was who worked out most of the stuff.
 
Last year I transfered to myself since I was in education, that went flawless. This year I am gonna transfer my scholarship to someone else since I am finishing my education and only have a small about of expenses to cover. I have mailed them about this and got a relatively quick reply.
 
Hmm... well this is a situation then.

I'm 24... already graduated from my University of choice, and have my dream job.

I'm planning on attending Worlds this year. IF, and I say a STRONG IF, I somehow do win Worlds... would they still give me a scholarship, or would they give me like, a check or something?

And if it is a scholarship, would there be a way for me to "cash" it so I can use the money?

Just a curious Pokemon Player. :)
 
I cashed mine last year flawlessly, but I haven't sent in the forms for the scholarship this year, so I wouldn't know about that...

To what email address?
 
I asked Teresa who administers the scholarship program to check on this and she did not have any old unanswered emails in the scholarship queue. We have new email software that organizes and filters all the customer service accounts. It is possible that it is not working correctly and some emails are being lost.

As a first step, take your old emails to [email protected] out of your sent email folder and forward them to [email protected] with a note that you have not received a response.

If you still don’t have a response after a week, PM me. Be sure to let me know your name, POP id and the address you used to email scholarships@. I usually have PMs blocked but have opened it up to deal with this. Do not PM me anything unrelated to unanswered emails. Please keep in mind that the entire POP team leaves for Worlds next Tuesday and most will burn some vacation days right after we get back. Responses to emails and PMs are going to be really slow for a while.

Here are a few specific answers. I am just repeating what Teresa told me; I don’t know enough about the details to clarify them.

Krayzie: We do not have a Form B from you.

Patriarch: We have a Form B, but there is no proof of tuition incurred.

Blastoise-shellshocker: I don’t remember your real name so I couldn’t check. Did your brother send in both Forms A and B?

Dark Sneasel: Don’t trust fax machine received receipts. We get plenty of faxes that consist of nothing but the machine address at the bottom or are just a page of illegible smear. Send an email to check on it.
