NCWIT AiC 2021 Award Updates. Has anyone gotten an email from them about national awards?

2

No. And I wouldn’t have expected to.

Well, I won a national honorable mention last year and they notified me privately on December 18th.

OK. Doesn’t change my answer.

Do National Honorable Mentions also get notified on the same day?

7

Winners have been chosen. Have National Honorable Mention been chosen also?

Other than the post above, it says national awards will be released Jan 11. Have you heard other people get the national award notification? I’m not sure if honorable mentions are released at the same time, but I think it would make sense since they have to go through the top 8% to choose the national awardees.

Agree. My daughter has not heard anything. :”

Do they usually notify recipients earlier than the day listed? I’m a little new to the process.

They just sent out 2021 National Honorable Mentions an hour and a half ago. You can check out the NCWIT Awardees site for updates on what has been announced. From someone who has been obsessively checking it, it seems to take less than a day to announce the next round of awardees (national 2 days ago, honorable mention today).

Where’s the site? Can u provide the link?

You’re not going to believe this but they just de-announced all of the awards for 2021. There were over 17,000 awardees and now there are only 16985. I don’t think they’ve announced the National Certificate of Distinction or Rising Star yet, considering they announced the honorable mentions and winners at different times. I wish I could’ve given the link the first time, but CC wouldn’t let me post it. :c

I can definitely confirm the 360 national honorable mentions and 40 awardees have been announced though, since I saw both on the site just a few hours ago.

For future reference though, the link is in the picture. They did say not to announce anything in the National HM email, so I guess the whole deletion makes sense.
