Reward Announcement

[Guest]

just got an email
"
Thank you for your application to the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation (SMART) Scholarship-for-Service Program. At this time, you have not been selected for an award. The Department of War will continue to make awards over the next few weeks. If the Department decides to offer you an award, you will be notified.

If you are not contacted, this will serve as your final notification for this application cycle. We appreciate your interest in the SMART Scholarship and encourage you to apply again in August, via www.smartscholarship.org. While we hope you will consider applying again next year, here are some additional opportunities within DoW STEM that may interest you: https://dowstem.us/participate/opportunities/

We wish you the very best in your ongoing pursuits and achievements.

Me too, just heard that I got rejected. Also, what did they mean by they will be giving out awards for the next few weeks?

pretty sure you either get flat out rejected, or something like being "waitlisted"

I got approved, that wait between 9:30 and 10:06 had me going absolutely insane. I wish you all the best of luck!

Didn't get it. But does anyone know if "At this time, you have not been selected for an award. The Department of War will continue to make awards over the next few weeks. If the Department decides to offer you an award, you will be notified." is kind of like a waitlist? Whereas if you didn't get the last two sentences, it's just straight denial?

I got the same email, from what i understand it is basically a waitlist, just not sure what it depends on.

Is the waitlist only for people who interviewed or is it an actual waitlist where the facility is actually still considering you?

I wasn't personally interviewed, but I did have constant communication with someone from a facility. My theories are that either the facilities rank their students and smart choses who to select (hence the waitlist incase someone rejects the award), or they just haven't processed some applicants. But one thing I believe is for sure is that if you get the "waitlist" email, is because a facility named you. Time to pray and hope

The only one I was interview at was DEVCOM in Natick. They weren't in my Top 3.
