Understanding Student Statuses

When you log into your Ready For College counselor access account, you will notice that your students’ scholarship applications have a current status listed. The list below explains what each status means with regard to their applications:

• Eligibility Pending: Required documents have not been received, or if all required documents have been received, the student may not qualify for the scholarship based on what was submitted.

• Accepted: Student has accepted his or her scholarship award.
• Ineligible: Student does not meet the requirements for the scholarship.
• Declined Award: Student has declined the award.
• Award Not Accepted: Student has not responded to his or her award notice by the deadline, and the award was automatically declined.
