<p>Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has won the Byrd scholarship and how long does it usually take to get to Harvard… I just found out that I can’t get a refund until this scholarship is in and I have heard that this scholarship takes a long time to arrive. Could anyone from Texas that won this scholarship give me more information? Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>Generally, it takes a long time to be sent to colleges–the funding and bureaucracy can take forever. Last year it was supposed to arrive by mid-December, however checks can be delayed through mid-January. Since it is the federal gov’t, there is nothing you can do except pay Harvard, and ask for a refund later. Sorry.</p>
