2010 Horatio Alger Foundation Scholarship

So... who's applying?

I have everything done except for my letter of support, certifications, and transcripts. Trying to get as much done as possible before school starts next month.

Also, does anyone know what they mean by a "legend" for your transcripts? Do they just want what classes you took, or which ones were weighted, or what your grading scale is? I'd appreciate any help on this.

Good luck to everyone! Let the 2009-2010 scholarship contests commence!

I applied!
The only adversity I could mention was financial though.

Good luck! I had financial, alcohol/drug problems, and I also included my sexual orientation.

When are the winners notified? Are applicants who have not won also notified?
Only awardees will be notified personally. Everyone may view the names of the recipients when they are posted online in January.
From the website. Two more (long) months, I suppose.

Is there no New York Scholarship Program for 2010? I see that there were specific winners for 2009, but no link for 2010.

Also, if selected as a national recipient, the scholar conference conflicts with 2 days of an overseas class trip (which will cost me over $2500). Do you think they would understand this and only have me go the days it doesn't conflict?

If everyone can view the names of recipients in January does that not mean the semifinalist will be notified before that?

Last year, they were posted and then kids were notified. So I don't think you get an email before it is posted on the website.
