A necessary part of winning a scholarship is completing the documentation to actually receive the award and...of course the money. They don't just hand you a check and say "have fun!" (well they kind of do) but they want to know the study abroad is going to be legitimate and that they aren't going to give you money you won't use to travel. So you have to provide them with a lot of paperwork, attend a webinar and even submit a picture before they will approve your documentation. It can be time consuming but when you hit the submit button it feels just as good when you submitted your entry essays. The best part happens a couple days after you submit your Award Documents (that's what happened to me today) and you receive the congratulatory email saying your documents were approved and your scholarship money will arrive in 2-3 weeks! That's about 16 days before I go to China! SWEET! Wow, am I getting SOOOOOOO excited!
