<p>Quarterfinalists were announced today via email! Anyone else become a quarterfinalist?</p>
<p>got the email as well… I’m not quite clear on how this works though. looks like there’s nothing we need to do additionally or anything, so what does being a quarter-finalist even indicate?? I wonder what the numbers are like.</p>
<p>I would like to know the numbers as well. My child received the email as well.</p>
<p>congrats guys - Sadly, no email for me. I was hoping …</p>
<p>(never mind, I answered my own question!)</p>
<p>@cttx31 - i was wondering if you can clarify - so your son got email from local chapter to write an essay ? is this different from 40 acres ?</p>
<p>Oh I guess you saw my post before I deleted it! I realized people were talking about an email about being a quarter-finalist for the Forty Acres. That is not the email my son got. He got an email from the local Texas Exes chapter. The email said in order to be considered for a scholarship from the local chapter, he needed to write an essay. If he did not write the essay, he would no longer be considered for scholarships from the local chapter, but he would still be considered for other Texas Exes scholarships. Maybe each chapter can offer their own local scholarships in addition to the general Texas Exes ones?</p>
<p>Has anyone else heard anything? </p>
<p>My son got a notice today. Asked for an updated resume. </p>
<p>Clutj000, was it a notice that he is a semi-finalist?</p>
<p>any finalists ?</p>
<p>hmm - none in CC? that’s hard to believe.</p>
<p>Maybe they still haven’t came out or something…doubtful, but possible.</p>
<p>^^ FB page says - Finalists were mailed on Feb 24th.</p>
