<p>My son submitted his nomination application on Feb. 5th and it still hasn’t gone to the judging phase according to his account. How long does it take to get to the judging phase?</p>

<p>@Quakergirl25, National All-Around Student Scholarship winners are selected by a panel of scholarship judges that reviews Discus Award winners each month and selects winners based on the uniqueness and impressiveness of achievements described in students’ attribute essays. There are 10 National All-Around Student Scholarship winners named each year.</p>
<p>@math7th, our judging process has been delayed this year due to updates to the program, including new scholarship opportunities. We hope to reach your son’s nomination soon…thanks for your continued patience!</p>

So what happens if we applied for the 2011 - 2012 school year a while ago but our entry was never judged? I’m having issues submitting my entry for the 2012 - 2013 school year despite the fact that the link is available – the website redirects me to my entry for the 2011 - 2012 year instead.</p>
<p>@speedcuber23, all '11-'12 nominations were judged. If you didn’t hear from the Discus Awards, it probably means there’s an e-mail stuck somewhere in your spam or junk folders. Please e-mail customer service at info<at>discusawards<dot>com (standard e-mail format) about your '11-'12 nomination, and the issues you are having with your '12-'13 nomination.</dot></at></p>
<p>For everyone checking on this thread, the July 2012 National All-Around Student Scholarship was awarded today to [Joel</a> Bervell](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com), a high school junior from Washington.</p>
<p>@doctarini, the 2011-2012 program is closed, but the 2012-2013 program is accepting applications.

Applications are accepted on their website here: [Discus</a> Awards Application Form](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com)</p>
<p>If i submitted my nomination in late october for the 2012-2013 school year, and i am a senior, will i hear back from them before Jan 1 for college apps? or will i have to wait until the end of the school year?</p>
<p>The first of ten 2012-2013 National All-Around Student Scholarships was awarded today to [Emily</a> Morgan](<a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com), a high school senior from Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Just a quick question, what exactly will my references be asked for? A formal recommendation or just a few lines about why they would recommend me?</p>
<p>@smileykins The Discus Awards reference process is very simple and easy for the references. References receive an email containing a link to a reference form. That reference form will display the nominee’s attribute essays and some additional information. The reference will then be asked to verify the information the nominee has presented and then will have the option to provide some additional comments regarding the nominee.</p>
thanks! </p>
