Miscellaneous: Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition....

Today, I was supposed to hear back from a major scholarship competition. After months of waiting, during which my parents were convinced I had won, I discovered that my entry had never been received. Apparently the woman I had confirmed with had had a long day, and lied so that she could go home. FML

Today, I found out I won a 20 000 dollar scholarship. After celebrating with my family by jumping around the room for a half-hour, we realized it was addressed to someone else with the same last name. When we called to tell her, she said it was weird because she had received my rejection letter. FML

Today, I went to see my guidance counselor. I was supposed to hear from my college about a scholarship by October 3rd. I was worried since it was already the 2nd so I went to talk to her. She never turned in my nomination. Goodbye $80,000 scholarship. FML

Today, I spent ages applying for a scholarship online. I found out on the very last page that I do not meet the qualifications for it. FML

Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML

Today, I spent many hours applying for many scholarships. When the sites asked for my e-mail, to let me know if I'd won, I gave them my school e-mail, one that I often check. I then come to find out the school doesn't let e-mails from outside the school system be sent or received. Lost thousands of dollars as far as I know. FML

Scammers gonna scam

Today, I found out that the $100,000 scholarship I "won" was a scam. I found it on a website. When I won, they asked for a "processing fee" that I begged my brother to let me borrow. The website has vanished into internet wasteland and I have no way of paying back the money. FML

Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML

Today, I got an email from a Scholarship Program reminding me that they had rejected me 3 months ago. Thanks for reminding me I might not make it to college. FML

Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML

#81, young_sparta is a 300 themed troll, he/she always makes Persian calls. In a joking sense. It's pretty obvious isn't it? "young sparta". C'mon/

Exactly. I hate sloppy workers like that. Just because you don't directly reap the benefits of your work doesn't mean you shouldn't work to the best of your ability.

Well, she didn't deserve it, but the submission does sound like she's assuming an awful lot. I mean, did she SPEAK to the woman? Did that woman ADMIT to being tired and lying? Or did she talk to someone who confirmed and now they say they don't have it? I'm just saying, there's a pretty good deal of this that seems to be OP jumping to conclusions.

To #43 I think you should re-read it. OP did say she had confirmed it with that woman

I always wonder that too like whenever I read a FML that I think there is no way anyone could say they deserve it (like this one) there are always tons of people who say they do. I cant possibly understand how she deserved this at all that totally SUCKS!

#75, it says that OP confirmed her entry. As in orginally. Not that OP confirmed that the woman had lied because she wanted to go home. I'm just saying, there's not a lot of way OP could know this. Either way, undeserved.

Sounds like my guidance counselor from back in high school. My friend lost out on over $2000/semester in scholarship money because the counselor didn't submit the paperwork on her end to meet the deadline.
