<p>EngProfMom:</p>
<p>After digging through all the printed pages of my daughter’s app. and looking for info. online, I cannot find anything that says the teacher’s trip is paid. Under the teacher portion of the app. it says, “(Note: Should you become a Presidential Scholar, the teacher you name will be invited to Washington, D.C., and honored for his or her accomplishments…)” Nothing one way or the other about expenses.</p>
<p>On the back page of the “fact sheet” there is a paragraph about the Scholars having an expense-paid trip; however, the next paragraph, which mentions the teacher, does NOT say anything about expenses one way or another.</p>
<p>So, no, I am not sure about that one…Sorry. :(</p>
<p>HopesForTheBest:</p>
<p>The deadline for submitting photo, bio. and optional mini-essay was April 24, 2009. I don’t know if you contact them and tell them you never received anything in the mail, but your S’s name is listed online, if they may be willing to grant an extension. If they do grant an extension, be sure you submit things in proper format. It’s simple, but they have some word limits, formatting and labeling requirements. After submitting the email with the attachments, we did receive a confirmation email in return.</p>
<p>Congrats to both you.</p>
