<p>Son received notification today (Illinois). $2500 scholarship winner.</p>
<p>Did you find out through the mail or from your son’s counselor?</p>
<p>Notification came in the Mail.</p>
<p>Got my letter in the mail today. So happy!</p>
<p>I also got my letter today!</p>
<p>My D got her letter in the mail today also!</p>
<p>I was named a Nat’l Achievement Finalist months ago, but I have yet to be notified as to whether I will be receiving scholarship money. Is that bad??</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I think that’s a bad sign. Scholarship notices were mailed beginning the last week of February, and the official press release is scheduled for April 1. Of course, there’s always the possibility of lost mail, etc., so I would check with NM if you don’t hear anything by 4/1.</p>
<p>Correcting the above post–National Merit site says scholars will be announced April 4, 2012.</p>
