NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Award 2018

@e2001 national winner and national honorable mention? or just winner?

@Mirandarwallace same, national is super hard to win. I was notified of my regional on January 31st last year. It obviously varies by state but probably end of Jan.

She was a national winner

My best hope would be national hororable mention but they probaby notified them today, and no email for me :frowning: @Bookgal12

I just learned I won nationals but the email ended up in spam so check your spam folders

Congrats! @jess13221

Congratulations @jess13221. That is awesome!!!
@Mirandarwallace I was also hoping for national honorable mention but probably didn’t get it (checked my spam).
My friend got national honorable mention last year but hasn’t heard anything…

My big problem is that I’m homeschooled so I don’t have as many experiences as many. Still, i am hoping for maybe a regional award based on the quality of my essays and ambitions. @Bookgal12 good luck to you!

Thanks @Mirandarwallace and @Bookgal12
Good luck!!! :slight_smile:

What state are you from?
To consider if I would have a chance at regionals @jess13221

I’m from Florida and I’m in the Northern Florida and SE Georgia Region

Honorable mentions have not been notified! Stay tuned! And I heard that only 40 out of 10,000 girls were picked for national winners so it was a record breaking application season! Congrats to everyone who was picked you are all incredible!

That’s amazing! Do you know when honorable mentions will be notified? @e2001

I don’t think all the results have been released yet… it still says my application is waiting for review? Can someone confirm? Also do different states have different times of application award releases or is it all at the same time?

“ Notifications for the National Award are sent out in early January and notifications for the Regional Affiliate Award are sent by mid February, 2018. The award ceremonies take place from January through May of the following year.”

That’s what it says on the website so I’m not sure about how people are getting emails yet? Unless I’m mistaken of course.

Yeah, I’m confused too… Last year I know they notified the winners in mid-December. Does anyone who applied last year know if that date matched what they had on their website?

@jess13221 what application number are you?

Just wondering… does anyone know if your application number has an effect on when you get notified in general? I logged into my aspiration account and it said my application is still waiting for review. Can people check if their application is also in line for review? The website kind of implies that some apps haven’t even been looked at yet.

I’m number #313 and still waiting for review.
