Question for ANY Horatio Alger past winners

Hey everyone!

So I recently got an email from a college saying they got my contact through Horatio Alger and congratulating me. What does this mean? I know results don’t come out until january but does this mean I could potentially win something?

My foster son won State level Alger in 2015.
Nothing like this happened to him.
He was notified in mid January as I recall.
Best of luck to you!

Did anyone receive an email notifying them of their SemiFinalist status?

I got a similar email, @MangoLover11223, saying that they had received my name. I’m assuming that it’s just a database transfer, not a notification of potentially winning.
Where did you hear that they don’t notify until January? And do you know if it’s through phone or email?

I did, jn.

just got my semi finalist notification
any one know if this means we’re guaranteed to win something?

Me too! I was so anxious because I was waiting for that email. @dreamreacher2019 I don’t think we’re guaranteed to win anything, but it means that we have a good chance. National winners will find out in January and state winners will find out later on. Good luck though!

got the email today!

Just received the semi-finalist notification today! I can only hope that most semi-finalists advance to win, best of luck to everyone <3

Also revived the semi finalist email. Live in Ohio.

January begins tomorrow! Good luck to everyone who got the semi-finalist email! I will be checking this thread to see if anyone hears anything.

Good luck to all who got the notification! My daughter received her email about the same time the rest of you did.

I’ll post an update one way or the other.

Well, no call today so far … last year’s thread said the calls came on Jan. 3. I guess maybe this one isn’t for DD.

Not here either. We cannot give up hope until someone shares they got the call. Thanks for the update.

Saw an online post someone got the call today. Congrats to whomever won!

Got the notification that I’m a national scholar !!! Congrats to everyone, I’ll Be making a Thread

Wow, jupx, that is fantastic news! Congratulations!

Congrats to jupxterr! So proud for you!

May the others on this thread do equally as well.

There’s the link for the winners. Congrats to those who won!

For everyone else, do you know how the state level scholarships work?

Congrats to everyone who was awarded the national scholarship! I was also wondering when will they announce the state level scholarship winners?
