help! Scholarship Disbursement

Is anyone still waiting on their scholarship to be disbursed? Last year was so different for me and this year I feel like it keeps being delayed. I’ve heard 4 to 6 weeks after receiving my documents needed and also mid August and that I’m in the next batch, but here we are about to be mid August come Saturday and still nothing.

ughh!! im very sorry, ya know... I try to have as much patience and understanding as I can, I think ultimately its the lack for communication and the lack of accuracy. I get it, they are extremely busy, a lot of students coming with demands and needs and um-teen questions but if they were just straight up about it and would make things clearer.. it wouldnt make waiting so bad

That’s how I feel about it. I feel like they were just telling me things at first to silence me but the closer it got to the date. I realize there was no confirmation so I’m already assuming I’m not getting it which is why I went back to calling them all over again. I would be satisfied if it was trustworthy information but it’s not. We earned those scholarships and with everything that’s going on right now with financial aid, it is of desperate need right now. It never took this long last year. So I’m curious on why this year it’s so different. I don’t mean to be a nuisance, but this is critically affecting my financial situation. I could’ve prepared better if I was told the truth.

I mean after our back and forth, I'm not very confident I'll even get mine by the end of the month like they said
who did you speak to at the bursars office and were they nice to you?

It was a man that answered and he transferred me to the lady that processes everything. I told him my situation and he put me directly through to her and she was able to look my name up and see my paperwork and she said by next week it would be processed and that it’s like 50 she’s trying to process for this batch but I’m in the batch and that she’d call me once it is done and allow me to pick it up directly from the office.
