<p>Has anyone here rec'd info. from the National Honor Roll Award organization in New York? D rec'd info. back in the summer about having been nominated for this and after completing info. about her grades, etc. she rec'd another letter saying she was recently inducted into this organization. D has to complete another application listing her honors & awards from school and the community, and write an 100 word essay about her post-high school goals. Processing fee is $3.50. There is a book that can also be purchased that will have her name, profile, and picture posted and is available this summer. The other thing they offer is College Admissions Notification Service and they will send an announcement letter to whatever college you choose indentifying her status as a member of the National now she could become a finalist for a $1,000 scholarship award that will be awarded in November of 2007. how she was being recommended for this and fo</p>
<p>oops wasn't done....I hit the wrong key. Bottom line.....is this a credible organization and are these letters they offer to send to the colleges worth it? Will they get the admissions dept. attention or just a waster of paper? They claim that many higher learning institutions use these letter to indentify future candidates for their admissions and scholarship programs. Truth or hype?</p>
<p>Hype. National Honor Roll, while not a fake organization, is not prestigious at all. Colleges are more likely to use things like high PSAT scores to identify future candidates.</p>
<p>Thanks......was getting ready to send in my $ for those letters. :)</p>
