Another Seriously Unfortunate Scholarship Event
Today I finally heard about the Crohn’s Scholarship I applied for earlier this year… Sadly I did not receive a phone call notifying me that I was one of the winners, instead I received the dreaded thin envelope.
On behalf of UCB, Inc., we would like to thank you for applying for the 2010 UCB Crohn’s Scholarship Program. The program’s selection committee thoroughly reviewed all the applications, and after careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you were not selected as one of this year’s scholarship recipients.
There was an overwhelming response to the program this year, with more than 800 application received. The selection committee recognized how you are living beyond the boundaries of Crohn’s disease and you should be proud of what you’ve accomplished.
They go on to say I can always reapply this fall if I’m enrolled in school during the 2011 fall semester and wish me luck and success in my future. Pretty much the exact same letter I received last year which is a bit disheartening when I worked on this application two-hundred percent more than last year’s. I had to practically battle the winter storms the east coast suffered earlier this year just to get my entry in on time…
Things could be worse though I suppose. Life is good now and I’d take that over any scholarship amount. I’ll just have to knuckle down over the month off I have coming up and apply for anything and everything I can.
