Even if you don’t get the national award, does anybody know what type of local recognition/stuff you can get?



In S’s case, a tiny clip in the local free newspaper–ignored by the daily city paper–and a mention of the honor at graduation.

On the other hand, a friend of mine who lived in Wisconsin when her S graduated from HS told me that the NMFs in that state were invited to a special dinner, possibly with the governor. They may do something for PS candidates/semi/finalists. In my area, NMFs get the same tiny clip in the local free paper–ignored by the daily city paper–and the HS puts their names on a plaque every year. That’s it.
