Not selected to move on
So if this is only local currently, why did the email say that National Finalists would know by late February? The apps have to get judged at district and state still, can they do them all that quickly considering they arenāt electronically sent?
has anyone had their local lodge contact them yet? do most local lodges give out awards? or how would we find out if they do
I didnāt advance, but I heard that my local lodge gives runner up scholarships, so Iāll wait to hear from them before I lose all hope.
Had to email the person for my areaā¦but I made it to districts.
very good question @Runners - my guess is they send them on as soon as theyāre done reading them, and then organize who moved on and notify people. very nervous for district and state! I live in the greater LA area so Iām sure there will be a lot of competition lol, best of luck to you all!
if I didnāt receive notification from my local lodge does that mean that I canāt get a scholarship from them?
@jule13 Not necessarily, my local lodge doesnāt notify people whether they received the local scholarship or not until a couple nights before graduation in the Spring.
@jule13 ditto to what runners said.
As I previously mentioned before my local lodge HAS NOT communicated anything but doesnāt mean they wonāt in the future.
I received an email that I advanced too! I live in a small area, so my local lodge is usually pretty lax and does not contact students for several weeks either.
Just got notification I moved past the district level. Earlier than I expected! Moving onto stateā¦
Wow congrats! Do you live in a small district?
@researchgeek
Awesome! Congratulations!
Hey guys!
I finally received an email this afternoon that said I had passed the locals and the North Central Texas division, and that I am now moving on to state!
I am really excited, but does anybody know how hard it is to pass state in Texas?
Also, they didnāt mention local or district scholarships, so am I supposed to ask or will they tell me later or what???
Thanks so much guys!
@Arrowneous
Was it from the national email that you received word?
My lodge still has yet to answer me. I passed local and went to districts but havenāt heard since then
And congrats!!!
@Arrowneous I was wondering the same thing! Iām also from Texas and just passed the North Central Texas area and am moving to the State level.
Congrats to you both! Was it a local or national email?
Oh this is awkward. Iāve yet to hear back from my lodge and itās almost the end of January. Regardless of the result I just want to know the results of my application. Iām from the Houston area in case anyone else is here as well and has already heard back.
@Fuzerabit It was actually an email from my local lodgeā¦kinda weird, especially since my lodge is really small and stuff. I emailed them back and asked if there was anything I should do or be aware of and they said to just say a little prayer that the state judge likes my applicationā¦also, they said that I (and all the state people) will know in mid-February if we go to nationals or not!
@LibertyU2016 -Glad to see some fellow Texans on here! Also, Congratulations!!! So exciting!
Thanks guys!
Congrats, both of you! Fingers crossed for the rest of us!
