  3. Check your application status button
  4. You will then be presented with a page where you can enter the student's application ID number, which is given to the student after completing the application. The student's application ID number will consist of his/her last name followed by a combination of four numbers or letters. (Ex. JonesT4E6 or Adamske54)
  5. Note: If you do not have the student's application ID number you can request that information from the Foundation by e-mailing us at scholarships@career.org or calling 202.336.6800. You will need to provide us with the following information:

    • Student's first and last name

    • Estimated time the student submitted their application

  6. After inputting the student's application ID number, click on "check status."

  8. If you have questions on the status meanings, just use the link "Click here for a description of this status." It will give you details of what each status means.

See, it is just that easy. We hope these steps are helpful to you. Just remember: if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at the Foundation. We are here to help you if you need to ask us, "How do I do that?".
