Do we know when semifinalists get announced?

@Neuropower
We should be notified by nov 27

@yagirl932 thanks! Did you get that from their website?

6

When they say they will notify us “by Nov 27th,” does that mean there will be notifications before then? Or is everyone notified on Nov 27th?

7

I got notified that I’m a semifinalist today, so I guess notifications are coming before then.

8

I also got notified that I’m a semifinalist! Literally cannot believe it. Congrats to everyone who applied!!

9

My son got notice that he too is a semi-finalist. Congrats to all!

10

I got notified I am not a semi-finalist, so I am assuming almost all notifications are out. Congrats to everyone though! Does anyone have recommendations for other similar scholarships?

11

And my son’s girlfriend is also a semifinalist!

My DS is a semifinalist!!! Congrats to the other students and their parents. Next stop regional finalists!

Will they be releasing more decisions? And will they all be rejections?

@mshoc17 My email said they had concluded reviewing all applications, so I am not sure.

@dancer7381 Congratulations! The Burger King McLamore Foundation Scholarship is pretty similar.

I got notified that I am a semifinalist! Congrats to the other 1600 students who have achieved this honor!

What do you think helped you guys become semifinalists? Did you have work experience?

@Emmadonnelly I think while my extracurriculars and grades made me a solid contender, it was definitely volunteer and work experience that allowed me to earn the semifinalist status. My extracurriculars are primarily academic-focused (math team, MUN, econ club, FBLA, etc.) and so I had to leave entire sections like Student Council/Class Officer and Student Media/Publications and Visual Arts completely blank, which I think hurt me if the scholarship organizers were looking for well-rounded applicants. However, I was able to report a lot of volunteer hours through different organizations (like political campaigns and nonprofits), as well as internship and work experience - personally, I’ve had a part-time job since the beginning of sophomore year so 2 years of working likely helped a lot.

I hope this answers your question!
