<p>just got mine in an email 10 min ago. Does anyone know what hotel we are staying at? Someone told me it was the omni…lol</p>
<p>Sheraton Atlanta, actually, according to the email we just got today. But one part does say Omni, so that’s a bit confusing…</p>
<p>Nine days!</p>
<p>yeah its the omni as far as i know but the email about travel said something about the sheraton so im not sure now</p>
<p>lol ya thats sorta why I was asking…</p>
<p>the omni would be so awesome.</p>
<p>either way, however, I am so excited for the weekend! =)</p>
<p>Yeah, I haven’t received my itinerary yet. I’ll just wait</p>
<p>Just to be sure, do you have to be poor to apply to this scholarship? I am from a middle classed family who probably earns too much to qualify to generous financial aid but too little to bear $50k a year.</p>
<p>The Coke Scholarship is completely merit based and does not consider your financial status. Poor or rich, you have the same shot.</p>
<p>Since Coca Cola is waiting one more week to announce, will someone please post when you receive your e-mail that says you are a national finalist and receive the additional $10,000? Thanks.</p>
<p>had an unbelievable time, everyone should apply!!!</p>
<p>o i love how they send the emails out for the national finalists… enjoy : )</p>
<p>Has anyone heard about the extra $10,000 yet?</p>
<p>I remember mark davis saying second week of april Ryan so the wait is ****in killin me :/</p>
<p>let me know if u hear back tho</p>
<p>ALSO apparently theres 1 person who gets the legacy scholarship</p>
<p>Anyone find out yet? I heard a lot of people found out already about their status</p>
<p>The letters were mailed April 1st. No e-mail’s this time. Didn’t get the extra $10,000. Humbled and grateful to be a Regional Scholar for $10,000.</p>
<p>Regional Scholar.</p>
<p>I did not receive a letter. Has everyone received one?</p>
<p>I did get my letter today.</p>
<p>My college said they would reduce the fin aid package because of this scholarship. So I am going to defer it to my junior year and get 2 years of grad school with it too. I thought Coca Cola Foundation’s advice to do that sounded smart cause my other smaller scholarships will frontload my freshman year. Do most colleges reduce fin aid package for outside scholarships?</p>
<p>Yes, Maverick, unless the school has an agreement with the organization not to reduce your aid, they will reduce your financial aid.</p>
<p>You can also use the money on a laptop or something instead of applying it towards school so you don’t lose the money</p>
