I’m just wondering when they were sent out and when i should expect them
Join the club. No one so far has gotten one. Are you thinking you might get rejected? There has been one person that had a semester C (but a year grade of B ) that found out that they made it to Finalist through their corporate sponsor.
yes because on their schedule, they had friday listed as the day certificates are given to principals for notification of their semifinalists who have become finalists but none of the semifinalists in my school received one and two of us are pretty qualified and one of us is very qualified
Well, I wouldn’t know about that since I’m homeschooled, but I hope you make it. Maybe that is when they send the certificates are sent, not received.
oops. Missed that this was about National Achievement.
The question was about National Achievement, not National Merit. Does that make a difference?
Yes they are two separate awards. On the website for NASF:
"In late January 2015, approximately 1,300 Semifinalists are notified by mail at their home addresses that they qualify as Finalists in the 2015 program. High school principals are notified and provided with a certificate to present to each Finalist.
All 2015 Achievement Scholarship® winners (Achievement Scholar® designees) are selected from the group of Finalists based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments—without consideration of financial circumstances or college choice. Beginning in late February 2015, the National Achievement® Program notifies about 800 Finalists that they have been selected to receive a National Achievement Scholarship."
I haven’t seen on any thread of anyone posting about receiving a National Achievement rejection this year.
DS hasn’t received one yet.
So no one has received a rejection or a finalist letter on cc? Or anyone you know of? Wonder if it’ll mirror NMF.
Just jumping on this thread to wish everyone good luck! I’m on the NMF thread, with a student “on-the-bubble” and it’s a long, painful wait. But every day without a letter is good news, right? We all need to hold on to that. Wishing you the best!
D received a National Achievement Finalist certificate from her school today
-) No letter at home yet.
Not sure when the school received it. We are in GA btw.
The National Merit/Achievement office told me that the school letters were mailed on the 16th, and the home letters were mailed on the 23rd. I would expect most of us should hear on Wednesday.
The letters were for National ACHIEVEMENT, not yet National Merit.
How come the NA people get earlier notification then us NM people?
I received my National Achievement Finalist certificate from my school yesterday evening. Haven’t received any notification at home, and I live in Louisiana. Good luck to all of you hoping to become finalists!
I think that NAF receives letters first because there are not as many participants.
Yep our school principal at the HS already got the certificates I found out today so if you can’t wait, ask at your school.
Today I received my letter in the mail notifying me of my finalist status! Super excited! Hope you guys get yours soon if you have not already!
