BodyStudiesPhD Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Did anyone else apply to the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
Dreams Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I still have yet to find a fellowship as generous as JKC. I applied before, but was not successful. I love the new rule change that allows applicants to pursue a degree at ANY university.
ohheygradschool Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I was so close to applying - only a few days away from my school's internal deadline - but then I got offered full funding at my top choice. So, happily, I didn't apply. Good luck though. JKC is a great program.
Inspekt Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I just submitted my app for this. We had to submit early for a university wide competition for the nomination. I should know in 2 weeks if I am selected.
Inspekt Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Did anyone else wind up applying for this? I put my app into the national pool earlier this week.
areese07 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I applied for JKC...however, I received full funding+stipend from the university I will be attending, so I guess that means I wont be competitive. I was looking at the past recipients' bios, and it is very hard for me to think that none of those people got offered full funding! ....so I dont know about that clause that says if you have full funding u will not be competitive.
younglions Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I also received a pretty generous stipend, so I don't know how competitive I will be either. Did everybody receive the award letter status check that was sent out today?

younglions Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 It seems like they do send it out to everyone. I heard from one other member of this board, and s/he received it too.
rach5698 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 What is this award status letter that everyone got? I applied and didn't get anything on May 8th?
rach5698 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I just got a message from this board from someone about receiving an email from the foundation on May 8th. I never received any such email but I had already faxed my acceptance letter and financial aid award letter to them in April so I'm assuming that's why! Thanks for responding!
younglions Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Received an e-mail today stating that I wasn't selected. Overall, I'm not too disappointed since I am already fully funded. I hope some of you receive better news!
Inspekt Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I got the same letter too, and I am also fully funded. I was snooping on their website and I also talked to our faculty representative. It seems like if you are fully funded you aren't very competitive for this award since you must have some demonstrated financial need. It also hurts if you are currently employed since that can bring down your need.
happygolucky Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 hey, did any of you round your gpa for the 3.5 cut off?
