<p>Nothing here in Pennsylvania. I, too, am starting to give up hope.</p>
<p>nothing here in MI.</p>
<p>Nothing in NY.
I just want to point out that my letter stating that I moved on to states said that national finalists will be notified in early February 2010, not necessarily February 1. The website does, however, say February 1.</p>
<p>Nothing in NJ.</p>
<p>Slowly… losing… hope… sadface.</p>
<p>Nothing here either in NJ! Wow!</p>
<p>Hey hannah2010, i’m in SC as well, and I haven’t received anything either. Did you hear anything back before this?</p>
<p>I get frustrated when scholarships like this set a date and don’t stick to it. 
Or perhaps they have and we aren’t the winners. I wish we had some closure.</p>
<p>nothing here in florida :/</p>
<p>@giftedgothic: I totally agree…I am waiting still…</p>
<p>I’m in SC and didn’t get it - the letter came from the local lodge.
So I guess the timeliness depends on how soon your lodge gets their act together, haha.</p>
<p>My local lodge said I wouldn’t be hearing from them anymore, haha. I’m at school now, but I have emails forwarded to my phone, and I have no new messages. :(</p>
<p>wow I can’t believe they haven’t let you guys know… i don’t think i’d have any hair left by now haha. keep the faith and good luck!</p>
<p>Those of you in SC, none of you have gotten anything? Well I got a letter a few weeks back from my local lodge saying I moved on to the next level. It said I would be kept advised of the progress…well I guess I didn’t make it to the national level then…</p>
<p>I doubt that NONE of us did move on. I mean, it’s CC. The vast majority of the kids on here are extremely smart.</p>
<p>I’ll just keep waiting. I’m going by the general “early-Feb”.</p>
<p>Although, it does say on the facebook page that the national finalist app is now available.

<p>I got another e-mail from the national foundation today about the secondary application. It sounded like one they would send to the whole group. But, I can’t believe that more people on CC wouldn’t have gotten it. And they haven’t posted anything on the website yet.</p>
<p>Haven’t had any word here in GA since I found out about district…</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they’ve notified National Finalists already. It’s by email; I’m in CA.</p>
<p>I was just wondering, do you know how many people are National Finalists? Am I guaranteed to win if I just submit my Secondary Application, or is it another round? That part has me really confused.</p>
<p>Congrats ayeeeconnie! There are 500 national finalists. The secondary application looks like it’s really easy, I actually completed it right away last Friday when I found out, just a short essay and some basic info. Once you submit it and mail in your Student Aid Report to the Chicago office, you’re guaranteed a $1000 scholarship renewable for 4 years. There are 18 kids who “place” and get varying amounts between $2000/yr and $15000/yr. So obviously the vast majority of us won’t get more but it’s still a great prize and honor regardless!</p>
<p>Has anyone heard back from Pennsylvania? Once I know that, I’ll finally give up. haha </p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who has won thus far!</p>
<p>New York anyone?
…I actually thought I might get this one.</p>
