<p>Does anyone know when your principal is supposed to receive the certificate? Mine hasn't said anything about it yet.</p>
<p>Sometimes schools save the certificates to award at the year end award ceremonies.</p>
<p>oh, okay. thanks, I'll ask about it.</p>
<p>my principal hasn't said anything yet either even though i got my letter like a week and a half ago.. when do we start getting offers from corporations and stuff??</p>
<p>sarahjansen, I live in CA too,I got a 211 and made it to the semifinals. </p>
<p>Is it odd that I haven'tgotten a finalist letter yet? Do they tell u if you haven't made it?</p>
<p>NM that last post, I got my finalistletter. People area already finding out that they are Scholars? I thought that wasn't supposed to happen until late february.</p>
<p>At least some award letters have been mailed - Good luck to all finalists!</p>
<p>Most should have received scholarship award letter by now.</p>
<p>I haven't recieved my National Achievement Scholarship letter as of yet, but I did recieve a scholarship from a corporation because of my finalist standing. It was a very nice surprise! lol ;)</p>
<p>I received my scholarship letter last thursday. quite exciting i think. good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Ahh, I was hoping for a corporate scholarship b/c they are renewable! Oh well, I'll hold out for the other one.</p>
<p>ANd I JUST received by Finalist standing letter on Feb 27</p>
<p>did any of your principals have the certificates yet?? i still haven't gotten mine for being a finalist</p>
<p>Some principals keep the certificates for the awards ceremony at the end of the year, I know mine are.</p>
