<p>My D was called down to the office before graduation and given an application and told Congratulations. After filling out and reading the application closely we realized she was just nominated and nothing was gauaranteed. The gudiance cons. insists its just a formality and one person from our school wins ever yeat. I personally called the org. and they told me nothing was gauaranteed and we would be notified mid July wither way. We are from Ma. Our guidance cons. is not very informed and I will be writing a letter to the super if my D does not recieve this scholarship. Guidance really should have better training in the whole process.</p>
