<p>My son received his letter as a Scholar Finalist today (CA 211). Do we need to prove his lineage, since our last name isn't a hispanic one? Will the school be notified of the award as well, or does he have to inform them?</p>
<p>if he received his letter, everything has already been taken care of!</p>
<p>I believe I qualify for Oklahoma (189, cutoff is 181), but I still haven't received my letter. What should I do?</p>
<p>How high is the required GPA? I have a 3.5 unweighted, and 4.3 weighted.</p>
<p>check with your counselor and see if they have gotten the paper work. a 3.5 should do it, make sure someone didn't drop the ball somewhere. My daughter got her letter Wenesday so you should be hearing something around now.</p>
<p>I checked with my counselor on 9-29, but she didn't receive anything for any National Hispanic Scholars. Will I receive a letter at my house, or are all the letters sent only to the schools?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>i received a letter at my house, but you can email the NHRP office to find out if you qualified. check the collegeboard site for their email address.</p>
<p>We got the letter sent directly to the house, from Collegeboard. I suggest that you call or e-mail the NHRP yourself. They got back to me immediately this summer when I had a question. Here is the return address that came with the reply (It's the same as the one posted earlier, I believe):

<p>well poo.</p>
<p>found my letter. i guess a 3.47 doesn't round to 3.5</p>
<p>Is the 3.5 requirement weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>unweighted</p>
<p>I got mine last week for scholar. It just stinks that if I answered 2-3 more questions right I would probably be a semifinalist for national merit, and maybe have gotten a $2500 reward or or the $1000/yr scholarship UF offers. I got a 210 (72 CR, 69 M, 69 W) in Fl.</p>
<p>Finalist for this is good, right? I got a good enough score (193) but my school calculates GPA really weird, so I only got Honorable Mention Finalist...rather bummed out.</p>
<p>for illinois it's 193... too bad i got a 191</p>
<p>I'm a National Hispanic Scholar for Pennsylvania, but I guess the cutoff is really low because I got 191. What I wanna know is why I got a letter not when I was a junior but when I was a sophomore saying that I was a National Hispanic Scholar. I looked it up and I know that I'm only qualified as a junior, why would they send me one as a sophomore?</p>
<p>kelsey, that doesn't make any sense to me either, sounds like a technical glitch. Did you receive notification as a jr as well?</p>
<p>Okay, so I received a notification junior and SENIOR year, not sophomore, sorry about that. Because I definitely didn't take the PSAT in 2008 and they sent me a letter with @008 on it. So maybe it was just that I was continuing to be a Hispanic scholar, but I'm not sure. Anyone know how many hispanic scholars there are per year?</p>
<p>From the NHRP website:</p>
<p>National</a> Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP)</p>
<p>"The National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) identifies nearly 5,000 outstanding Hispanic/Latino students each year. "</p>
<p>"Counselors are notified in mid-May of the students who are being considered from their high school. They are asked to verify each student’s cumulative GPA and ethnicity. In mid-September of your senior year, a formal letter of congratulations is sent to each recipient. "</p>
<p>We live in Baltimore, MD very few Hispanics. My daughter got a 201 and we haven't heard a peep. If that didn't qualify the scores in MD must be really high. Any ideas? I've sent an email to the NHS site. Hope give some guidance.</p>
<p>Counselors are notified in mid May that you are being considered. Students will be notified in mid September of senior year.</p>
<p>Excuse me i took the test in 2008 (as a junior), i was wondering when i would get the notice, also think that the requirement is 3.0 not 3.5. Is there any way I can check if i made it?</p>
