<p>So... who's applying? :)</p>
<p>I have everything done except for my letter of support, certifications, and transcripts. Trying to get as much done as possible before school starts next month.</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know what they mean by a "legend" for your transcripts? Do they just want what classes you took, or which ones were weighted, or what your grading scale is? I'd appreciate any help on this.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! Let the 2009-2010 scholarship contests commence! :D</p>
<p>Bumpppp. Contest is closed.</p>
<p>I applied!
The only adversity I could mention was financial though.</p>
<p>Good luck! I had financial, alcohol/drug problems, and I also included my sexual orientation.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we will hear the results of this?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From the website. Two more (long) months, I suppose.:(</p>
<p>Is there no New York Scholarship Program for 2010? I see that there were specific winners for 2009, but no link for 2010.</p>
<p>Also, if selected as a national recipient, the scholar conference conflicts with 2 days of an overseas class trip (which will cost me over $2500). Do you think they would understand this and only have me go the days it doesn’t conflict?</p>
<p>If everyone can view the names of recipients in January does that not mean the semifinalist will be notified before that?</p>
<p>Last year, they were posted and then kids were notified. So I don’t think you get an email before it is posted on the website.</p>
<p>when are the winners announced?</p>
<p>The website just says January. Last year, they were posted on the 6th, and the year before that, the 7th. I’m hoping this week!</p>
<p>Do we just check the Horatio Alger website for the list of winners? I noticed it has 2009 recipients and was wondering if anyone knows if we should just be checking to see when that says 2010 or is there another site to go to for a list of winners?</p>
<p>Nope. Just keep checking to see if it sees 2010.</p>
<p>I believe they said winner won’t be posted until February.</p>
<p>The site says January. </p>
<p>“The application process closed on October 30, 2009. Scholarship winners will be announced in January 2010.”</p>

<p>Oops. I was mistaken then.</p>
<p>I have a dilemma. If chosen as a national winner, I understand that I would have to attend a conference in Washington DC in April. BUT the two days of it conflicts with a class trip overseas that I am going on that I paid for myself. Do you think they would understand this let me go once I return to the US? </p>
<p>The trip has been planned for almost a year, and I worked much too hard for the money to let it go to waste. Yet, at the same time I need the $20k for college.</p>
<p>I mean if you get it just talk to them, im sure they will understand.</p>
<p>Ohboi, can you tell me the dates of that? I can’t find anywhere on the website.</p>
<p>Was so hoping they would post the winners today…maybe tomorrow.</p>
