Dh applied for a scholarship for next semester. Actually, it's a series of scholarships, just one ap.
Anyway, I checked his student email for him last week, & there was a note saying they didn't have 3 of the required docs. He did take these in w/ his ap, they made copies, & he brought the originals home. I remember being surprised & then realizing that of course they wouldn't keep the originals. But since I asked him about it, I do specifically remember.
But the email was from 3/25. He had to get the docs in by 3/27 or be disqualified from the scholarship. He never checks his student email, which is his fault, BUT he did turn the docs in.
He called about this Friday of last week. I was hoping maybe it had been cleared up & they just hadn't sent him another email. Today, though, there's an email in his inbox asking if he brought them in person or faxed them. If he'd faxed them & kept a confirmation of the fax...well, I don't know what they'd do even then, because they'd already finished making the decisions regarding scholarships last week when he called. They're going to notify recipients this week.
I don't see that there's anything left to do, whether they find the docs or not, & I know it's not completely their fault. Dh should have checked his email. So I'm not mad or anything, just sick over it. Kwim? And I thought you guys might have some brilliant ideas that I haven't thought of. If not, it's ok. I just don't like to give up on things too easily.
