Number of recipients per state varies. I think the federal money is divided among the states based on population. It is then up to the states as to how to distribute the money.

ugh its the middle of June. I just got back from a trip, and I still haven't heard from Texas. I wish they notified you either way.

Still no word in AL either!!

Trying to be patient, but it sure would be nice to know.

Every state is different in its total allocation, its application of the award money and how it does the application process. In AL, 15 from each congressional district (7 districts, 105 students) are normally awarded a total of $1500 per year. Hopefully, that will be the same this year.

Here's the link for Georgia winners. Son has not been notified, but got this from another winner's parent.

Briefly emailed the New York office. They responded by saying, "The 2009 Robert C. Byrd has not been done yet, maybe late June."

I emailed the contact person in FL. She was out of the office, but somehow my email got forwarded to someone else. She emailed me back. FL students will hear by June 30th. They will hear by email or hard copy.
