Well, I think they are waiting for a bailout from the federal government, and, depending on how much money they receive, they will choose who gets the scholarship or not. I do know for sure though that at least one person received the scholarship this year, the people from last year got their money for this year, and one person was informed this summer that she did not receive the scholarship. So...we are all still being considered, I believe. There is hope since the Democrats will be in control.

I heard from someone that their friend got the scholarship this year back in September. Does anyone know of anyone else getting the scholarship?

I know. I've just taken out loans. I think there is a funding issue because of COVID and the city budget crisis. Second years who received the scholarship last year are also still waiting for this year's scholarship, so they must not have the money or they are waiting for it from the city. Anyone else have any insight?

Oh, interesting. Thanks for posting. I guess it's just taking longer than usual because of COVID. Well, I hope we get it! I'm anxious too. Hehe. Best!

Still nothing. I wonder what's going on.

Thanks! You too!!

Yes, I was told the the last week of August or maybe even the first week of September, but I thought maybe it would be sooner. Hopefully we hear something this week. Fingers crossed we get it!

Anyone hear back about the scholarship?

I am so frustrated. I submitted my application to the NYU CSD program by the January 1st deadline through CSDCAS. All of my transcripts, test scores, and recommendation letters arrived on time. I think - "Yay, I'm done. Long process over." Wrong. I start reading the fine print about the Professional Transcript Entry (PTE), and it basically says it will take up to four weeks to enter and validate all of the info on my transcripts. And they only start working on them once all the transcripts arrive. Then it says that CSDCAS is not responsible if I miss a deadline because of the PTE process. I was blown away. Now my application that I put a lot of time and effort into is not valid? Has anybody else had this problem? I really do not like this service. It took them two weeks just to process one of my transcripts. I had to hound them. I emailed NYU, but it's New Years's of course. Please, someone give me some hope.
