I'm going to bump this up because I got the "OSA" award, but I'm still waiting to see if I got the money. Has anyone been notified yet?

I called and they told me that the scholarship application will be send in April. We didn't receive nothing yet (as April 13).

The Outstanding Students of America is little more than an excuse to sell books to parents and grandparents. Inclusion doesn't help admission chances at any elite (or even not so elite) school. You've never seen a college viewbook brag about the number of Outstanding Students of America they have - that tells you how little they value it. However, the scholarship is real - its used as an incentive to get people to fill out the forms. Hope one of you wins.
