<p>does anyone know about the selection process?</p>
<p>how many finalists dont win? im excited and nervous.
just sent in my application and that award would be really helpful</p>
<p>I read messages from last yrs. From the application May 15 or 16th is the date winners are contacted as a semi finalist. We are crossing our fingers here. I wonder how many kids applied? I read diversity was a factor.</p>
<p>I’m anxious to hear if I was selected as a semi-finalist too.
I am also curious if any students from NYC have won the scholarship.
Good luck to us [=</p>
<p>Are they sending out the emails today?</p>
<p>Aplication materials indicated notification is made May16.</p>
<p>OK lets all hope for each other and send out hopeful wishes. I was checking my email today and saw nothing. I will check back tomorrow and see if anyone posting made it to semi finals. A huge honor.</p>
<p>Ahh I’m getting excited! Good luck to every one of you!</p>
<p>I am praying my daughter makes semifinalist</p>
