<p>Yes, the state department held up the notifications for a few days. My daughter received one of the scholarships for this summer. There were apparently about 130 students vying for 30 spots. The application was lengthy and arduous, especially as my daughter is in France with SYA, and everything seemed to need to be done in the most difficult way possible! But she’s in and very excited; anyone else who’s going should pm me!</p>
