<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I just got a letter in my mail from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation stating that my scholarship has been withdrawn because I failed to complete the renewal application online by the deadline, which was April 18th. Of course, I'm freaking out right now because I didn't think I ever got anything about this renewal application, but I just found an unopened envelope also from the NMSC. It was a final reminder dated for March 23rd to complete the application. This envelope was in my parents' kitchen sitting in a stack of old grocery ads and other junk mail, so I'm assuming my parents never saw it and forwarded this to me. I visited their website to try to see if I could still renew it, but it said that the deadline for renewal has ended. At this point, their office is closed and I will call them first thing tomorrow morning to try and reinstate my scholarship, but I'm not hopeful. Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone have advice as to what I can do in this situation?
<bot>: I mistakenly missed the deadline to renew my National Merit Scholarship and they are now withdrawing my scholarship. Has anyone else had this happen to them or is there anything I can do at this point?
