<p>Has anybody applied for AXA this year?</p>
<p>I have. But I’m pretty sure I won’t get it. Lol.</p>
<p>Same here. I’m from WV and for my achievement I wrote about being a state officer for an organization and how it helped me to help people. That’s absolutely nothing compared to some of the stories posted on the website. I know those were the national winners, but still…</p>
<p>Has anybody heard back yet?</p>
<p>^^^ The website said that winners will be notified in the spring?</p>
<p>I did not become a finalist, lol. u?</p>
<p>Nvm, I’m not one. Lol. Just got an email. Kinda knew it though.</p>
<p>Finalist!!! Woo hoo Anyone have a clue as to how many finalists per state?</p>
<p>yayyy finalist !!! I’m curious to know how many finalists per state as well. Also, for the applicant appraisal does anyone know how long the appraiser’s responses should be?</p>
<p>Yesssss!! I was selected as a finalist. I would also like to know how many finalists they choose per state if anyone knows. Also in the appraisal form it has a box that asks if the person saw the applicants description of the achievement so i’m guessing it wouldn’t be best to show our person our description.</p>
<p>i was thinking the opposite since the if the person read what you wrote they be obligated to say if it wasn’t accurate.</p>
<p>My D received an email she is a finalist!</p>
<p>I thought it might seem like your description of your achievement could somehow sway how your recommender talks about you in their description. But you might be right</p>
<p>Any others from Virginia?</p>
<p>Just got the letter my S is a finalist. We’re in Illinois.</p>
<p>did u guys get it in the mail or email. I haven’t gotten anything yet.</p>
<p>Anybody here apply for the AXA Community Scholarship? I’m not sure what achievement I can write about for this one. Can I write about volunteering as a small group leader at my church, a one-day missions trip down to Chicago (handing out Subway sandwiches to the homeless), or working as a TA for StarTalk (government-funded Chinese program aimed to teach kids Chinese from grades 1-12)? If so, which one should I use?</p>
<p>Found on AXA page: “Primary consideration will be given to the applicants non-academic outstanding achievement as described in the online application essays when selecting finalists. The achievement may be a long-term achievement, an activity or a project that occurred in their school, in the community or in the workplace.”</p>
<p>I got finalist 
The email said early March for further notifications, hoping that means within the first week or so</p>
<p>@sleeplater, I suggest using whichever one impacted your community the most</p>
