So what's the deal with MI? I have a feeling that either my school is holding on to it to give out during the awards ceremony, or that the guidance department screwed up. (BTW, MI uses MME scores and GPA. My GPA is 3.99 and my ACT (from the MME) is a 140 (35.0)) Also they said that they nominated me (I even had to fill out the nominating sheet for them) and I have received nothing at all since then.

Don't know about MI, but I know some states don't announce the Robert C. Byrd scholarship winners until June or July.

Wisteria, does that mean we should have heard in NY, or should be hearing this week?

The Byrd letters to NY recipients are mailed out by the NYS Education Department, which is located in Albany. Some principals and students in counties near Albany received their letters Thursday and Friday. The mail may take longer in other places in the state.

I just spoke to a GC at D's school, he said that he has not heard a word on anyone from our school nor has he heard from any students that received anything. He also said that traditionally, every student they have nominated from our school in the past has won the award up until last year when there was one nominated student who did not win. FYI

Hmmm...tonight is awards night at our school. Could be that the GC might have been holding out on me? Do NYS students usually get letters directly or through their schools?

My D in NYC got her award directly, in the mail, after school was over last year.
