Have people in Illinois received notification yet?
I was told that the min. ACT score was 34, which I found to be very high, especially since there are many states that require scores in the low-to-mid-twenties.
I had a 32 on my ACT, but was my class valedictorian, so I had been hoping for this scholarship. I'm guessing that I was not selected, as I have not received any form of notification and, assuming that the 34 ACT score is correct, did not even meet the requirements.
So, I was just wondering if anybody in Illinois has received notification and if he/she would be willing to share his/her ACT score, class rank, etc.
Thanks!

D, in Fl, had a 4.0 u.w. and a 35 ACT. In FL each high school nominates the student w/ the highest unweighted gpa figured with the highest one time sitting ACT, however, each student nominated doesn't necessarily obtain a scholarship.

| Minnesota Recipient
D got letter in the mail today that she has been selected. Her Stats are as follows
34 ACT ranked 6/640 with 4.2 unweighted gpa. Looks like Minnesota selects by congressional district. This was a very big surprise as I did not know she was our schools 1 nominee. $1500/per year for 4 years will sure come in handy.

| Minnesota awarded today
My son just received a letter telling him that he has been awarded a Byrd Scholarship.
In MN students are ranked, within each congressional district, by ACT/SAT scores (35/2300 for my son) and an essay about Senator Byrd.

i recieved the scholarship in louisiana, but the only reason i know is because the winners were published in the local newspaper. a close friend of mine got it as well, and she got her letter of affirmation sometime last week, while i still haven't gotten mine, and we live in the same city, a ten minute drive from each other. is there someone i should contact, or just wait a few more days...?

a little confused how gym mom lists her daughters unweighted GPA as 4.2. still no word in washington state, although that's sort of to be expected; the application was only due less than three weeks ago.

There may be paperwork to accept the scholarship, and it may have a deadline (this is the case in our state). You can find contact information (both email and phone) in this PDF from the Louisiana Department of Education. http://www.doe.state.la.us/lde/uploads/3505.pdf | |

our high school does not weight grades however you can receive an A+ in a class (4.3) so it is possible to have a GPA greater than 4.0

Getting real close to releasing the recipient information in Alabama. I received an email today stating that the letters will be mailed as soon as Dr. Morton signs the official documents. Hopefully, that will be as early as next week.
