I got it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to let my top few schools know, because i think if it will help even slightly it would awesome.

Panicpower - send a letter with a copy of the NAS notification to the schools that are still reviewing your application.

Ditto to Colbs. I haven't received anything in the mail, and I read in the letter I got telling me I was a finalist that I should be recieving scholarship offers in late February.

I got two seperate scholarships to UT one for 6K a year and the other for 10K a year, these were not linked to National achievement though although historically UT has given national achievement scholars 25K over four years. Which if The Lord blesses me to get would bring my scholarship money to 89K over four years, which is tantamount to a full ride.

Oh I thought you were talking about the scholarships that colleges give for NA, nvm then. In reality I just needed to tell someone because I was so happy

Congrats, Dbate!!!

Dbate makes a good point, though. Some schools will up the scholarship ante with the NAF status.

: )

I was notified today by mail that I am a National Achievement Scholar (a recipient of the $2,500 monetary award).

good luck to everyone!
