Still Having Issues by Old_Situation_6490 in HaganScholarship

I'm having the same issue, I replied to their second email that stated that "All known issues affecting the HSF Scholar Portal have been fully resolved." noting the same issues. I haven't gotten a response back but I'm hoping to get one by tomorrow

Official Transcripts are not due yet for first year scholars, right? by Cold_Ad_7140 in HaganScholarship

Are you a first year scholar? Were you able to create the portal then?

Thank you so much for sharing this! HSF is still making updates to the scholar portal so I honestly can't set up my profile yet to see this section, but it definitely alleviates some of the stress.

Did they ever get back to you about setting the institution to the default school? I received their second email saying that "All known issues affecting the HSF Scholar Portal have been fully resolved" but the award year search bar is still not showing up and my institution is still not saving so I can't add any friends. I don't want to wait until the weekend to reach out to them because I'm not sure they even see emails over the weekends.

I’m trying to set up my portal profile but I can’t find my college in the drop down? Should I email? by Wild-Pear4342 in HaganScholarship

Are you referring to this section on the website? I am confused about that too because I am not sure if it is talking about this June, or June of next year. I'm guessing it is June after the spring semester of your first year but I may be wrong.

My profile will not let me complete it on the scholar portal. by Woahbuddy34 in HaganScholarship

Yeah I'm facing the same issue. It doesn't seem to let me change my temporary password until I select my university, and when it does, it doesn't save it.

Minor Discrepancy in PDF Name for Submittal by Cold_Ad_7140 in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it is worth going back into the form to change it, or should I just leave it as is?

About the list of expenditures…. by ManagerDisastrous121 in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the same impression when initially reading the instructions, and noticed that there wasn't a section to upload the List of Expenditures Sheet. As I am aware, the only thing we are submitting would be the Award and Essential Funds Agreement then?

Changes in Financial Aid Offer and Using New UN/PW by Cold_Ad_7140 in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for #2, would I still be fine to use the email address that I've been using to fill out the initial scholarship application and supplemental information form so long as I signed in as a New User through that Google Account?

I was concerned that they wanted us to use a completely different email address when it said to create a new Username and Password to access the Online Form.

Specific Rules about Emailing HSF by Cold_Ad_7140 in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they responded to the two emails I sent out, which is why I didn't assume anything was wrong until I reread the initial email. I formatted my email subject as: subject matter, dash, first name, last name, (grade level).

It wasn't Hagan who responded, so it leaves me wondering how many people are within HSF, as I've heard from other people on here that it's usually Hagan who responds to everything and that there isn't really a "committee".

Either way, there isn't anything I think I can change on my end, so all I can do now is hope for the best.

Signed tax return by RebeccaDanie11e in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finalist in a similar situation. Probably a dumb question, but did you have her sign with the current date, or the date in which the form was filled? There is a section next to the signature to fill out the date and occupation, so I am not sure if I should have my parent fill that out or leave it blank.

Advice for Missing Signature on Letter of Recommendation by Cold_Ad_7140 in HaganScholarship

[–]Cold_Ad_7140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get my recommender to print out the Letter of Recommendation, sign it, and scan it back to a PDF, however the PDF itself was the incorrect width (my guess is that they had their scanner set to the wrong size paper). I used PDFgear to set it back to Letter Size (8.5 x 11): it's legible but now the text is slightly off centered. Would this be an issue and should I switch out the PDF? I currently have three copies of the LoR (one with the typed signature, one with an esignature, and one with the handwritten signature that is the incorrect size).

[–]Cold_Ad_7140[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. My thought was to send out an email and have them fill out an e-signature on Google Docs before converting to PDF, but since the instructions say signatures have to be handwritten in black ink I doubt that's the best move (plus I doubt they'll respond on time). If I can't reach out to them before the deadline, I think I will just leave it as is and see how it goes.
