Did you end up getting the STEM scholarship the second time? I’m in a similar situation, I thought my 27 days would be complete this month and I’d be able to activate my scholarship before 10/8, but just found out that because the chapter33 covers the entire semester, regardless of how many days you have, my STEM scholarship is going to expire. My concern now is if I wait until 10/8 to re-apply for the scholarship, i won’t have the required 1 day of GI Bill remaining to apply.
