MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROGERS STEM SCHOLARSHIP WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I APPLY FOR THIS SCHOLARSHIP? We usually make a decision about each scholarship within 30 days. We award scholarships on a

monthly basis. If we need more information from you to make a decision, we’ll send you a letter. If we approve your application, you’ll get a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) in the mail.

This is also called a decision letter. Bring this COE to the VA certifying official at your school. This person is usually in the registrar’s, financial aid, or Veteran's office at the

school. If we don’t approve your application, you’ll get a denial letter in the mail. WHAT’S STEMTEXT? We use STEMText to communicate with you about your Rogers STEM Scholarship benefits

through text messages. If you receive the Rogers STEM Scholarship, we’ll send an opt-in text message to your primary phone number. We’ll ask if you’d like to receive updates about your VA

STEM benefits by text message. To participate, respond “yes” within 7 days of receiving this message. You can also use STEMText to verify your attendance each month. Verifying by text

instead of email can help you get your housing payments faster. We’ll send you a text message each month asking if you attended your STEM courses. To verify, just respond “yes.” Go to our

STEMText video (YouTube) to learn more NOTE: If you need to update your primary phone number, call us at 888-442-4551 (TTY: 711). We’re here Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.
