I didn't get the scholarship....
:(

And, I really needed it too, which makes it even worse.

This day fucking sucks...and it's only 11:30 in the morning.

2. Oh, SO sorry sweetie

Those things are usually so ultra-competitive -- there is a lot of luck involved! Don't let it get you down about your ability or your brains, ok? :hug:

Was it for school, or to cover you during your internship?

Sorry, that sucks.

The best way is to do grunt work in your perspective
field and have your company pay for your
"continuing education".

IF you can swing it...

5. have you been to
finaid.org?

It will ask you detailed questions about your heritage and your area of study, but it can truly come through for you.

I got a ton of money for one of TM's friends because she is of Lebanese descent.

Give it a whirl.

And, I'm sorry. :hug:

11. Oh, crap! I am so sorry, my friend...
I thought that you were a shoe-in, since you're better informed than most people out there, and you had a superior education...;) Hang in there and isn't there another one that you can try for? :hug:

12. Thanks...
Eh, this one was specific to my Dept. I've never applied for one before. What sucks is that I was competing against *1* person, and I still didn't get it. So now I have to go to the Honors Dinner and watch him receive it. Grrrrr.
