has anyone ever taken the BEA? i’m taking mine at the end of this month for Spanish so I would like to know peoples experience talking it.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the scholarship either and I applied as a bilingual applicant. It really does suck especially since I waited so long for a response.

Ooohh okay!! Thank you for the information, I will share this with my classmates.

Wow! No one in my program ever received any update. One girl emailed the DOE two weeks ago asking them if there’s any news regarding whether she got it or not. And they said they haven’t chosen anyone yet and that they will let us know.

Hi guys!! same here I took out loans and the majority of the students in my program had no choice but to do the same. We were all waiting to hear back from the DOE but there was no news about it.

Same here, still waiting. other girls in my program reached out to the DOE and all they said was to wait till they make a decision. not even the academic advisors at my school know what’s going on. we are all assuming because of COVID and the reopening of the public schools that are keeping them busy right now. But I’m trying to not lose hope.

Hopefully!! Good luck!!

Hi!! i was told during the interview that I will be contacted during the last week of august in regards to whether I will receive the scholarship or not but I have not heard anything back and I’m starting to worry ?

Hi!! I went on the DOE website and you have to search up Jose P. Graduate Scholarship Program and you’ll find the information on it. the deadline, however, passed. But you can still look into it.

Hi!! Congratulations on the interview!! I also have an interview for this scholarship coming up and I am very nervous about what questions I’ll be asked. however I saw a post on here where someone talked about their interview from a few years back and they said that two people conducted the interview (one speaking English and one speaking in Spanish). They were asked to write an essay in Spanish because Spanish is their native language. They also said that they were asked general questions like why they chose this field, why do you deserve this scholarship and any speech sessions you observed. Stuff like that. Again, this is what I read on one of the posts on here. I know this isn’t a lot of info but hope this helps, good luck!!
