<p>Does anyone have any experience with the FEEA? I’ve been employed by the federal government for 25 years. So naturally, when my daughter was accepted to college, she applied for the FEEA scholarship program. The FEEA makes it very clear on the application and directions that all required material must be included in the package, otherwise the application will not be considered.</p>
<p>I tripled checked that all of the required material was present prior to mailing. In fact, I even had a co-worker go through the material as I read off the checklist of what was required to be included in the application packet. I went to the post office - and checked for the third time - that all of the material was present before I sealed the envelope.</p>
<p>Lo and behold, 3 months later, we receive a letter that my D’s application will not be considered because it was missing the essay. It was there!!</p>
<p>I left a voice mail message with FEEA and also sent an email, asking that they check once again. But it makes me wonder how many other people are told there is missing material, when in fact it’s all there.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on what to do next would be greatly appreciated. It would be one thing if she was considered and didn’t receive anything. But it’s a completely different matter when the saludatorian of a class of 250 students, 4.5 GPA, all AP classes, great SAT scores, lots of extra-cirricular activities and work won’t even be considered because they lost the essay!</p>
<p>To say this is frustrating is an understatement.</p>
