Can you say you were a “recipient” of a scholarship even if you could not accept it?
Hello all!
I am about to graduate with my undergrad degree and for the longest time I was trying to apply for follow on study at graduate school.
However, I heard a few days ago that I was not accepted into any of my desired programs—so I will not be going to graduate school at all next academic year.
That being said, I received numerous scholarships both while I was waiting for an admission decision and after I found out. Obviously I can’t use them, but I’m wondering if I can still say I was a recipient. I’ve also heard people saying that they advertise they won a scholarship, but couldn’t accept because of blank reason.
I did put a lot of work into these scholarships and it would be a real shame if I couldn’t say anything about them.
I appreciate any advice you’d have! Thank you!
