Update as of 8/22/23:
Brenda and I are literally on a call with Step Up right now, and I hopped over to post this...
If you have applied for PEP, were "awarded" the FES-EO, and did the second step to select PEP, submitted your Student Learning Plan, etc, but have still not heard back that you are officially awarded PEP and still aren't showing FTCPEP status inside StepUp....
You might hear today!
They are doing mass flipovers WEEKLY, moving people to PEP, but last week they had technical issues and couldn't do that batch. They are planning a massive flipover this week... hopefully today!
If you don't get flipped over this week, then you were most likely a more recent applicant, and you should be in next week's batch.
(Also, Step Up has confirmed there are still plenty of scholarship slots available.)
Update as of 9/19/23: Step Up posted on their Facebook page yesterday, addressing those who received the Awarded email but have not yet been switched to FTCPEP in their system. See it here! https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=682804333881666&set=a.405367998291969
