Is the next date confirmed to be the 25th??
My email said “we will notify you of the results of state judging by email on or before January 27th.” Did anybody else have this wording on their last email?
yes
“We will notify you of the results of the State level judging via e-mail by February 27, 2017.”
We will know if we advanced to the national level by tomorrow! I’m soooo excited!!!
This week is pretty exciting for us, huh? 
@amynguyen2017
Today’s the day! Good luck to everyone!
Does anyone know what time?
@college61728 I saw your notification and thought stuff already came out lol. I would think like 2:00 pst ish, thats when I got the other emails.
My email notifications of advancement to district & state were sent between 4:00-5:00 Eastern time. Hopefully, we will know VERY soon!
So if we move on, are we guaranteed a scholarship?
Semi-finalists are up on ISTS!
Look under your state finalist application
The short answer is yes. There are 500 national finalists. Of those, 480 receive $4000 scholarships & the remaining 20 travel to Chicago for a weekend to compete for scholarships ranging from $20,000-$50,000.
What should be within the state finalist app?
There should be another application that says Semi-Finalist
National Semi-Finalist! I am so grateful!
@college61728 we are now guaranteed to get $1k/year.
Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. Probably because my mom makes too much. Good luck to you all.
