<p>Have any Michigan residents received notification from the State of Michigan about the Robert C Byrd Scholarship? If so, when were you notified?</p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>My son had received it last year. The decision came in late April. The renewal information for next year is supposed to come in June.</p>
<p>For those still waiting, I just learned that letters are being sent to school principals this week.</p>
<p>My principal just told me tonight that I was awarded the scholarship, and I had no idea that I had even been nominated for it. I'm pretty excited, I guess.</p>
<p>Good luck to you, SBDad.</p>
<p>Be ready - Michigan makes the payment on the Byrd Scholarships to your university later than most other states. I was getting delinquent notices from D's school and it was all over the $750 per semester payment on the Byrd Scholarship that was coming from the State of Michigan.</p>
<p>Huh, that's interesting. I just hope that the state can afford to keep paying it with its current economic condition, unless it's completely federally funded. I'll keep my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>It's completely federally funded, just administered by the states.</p>
<p>And by the way, congrats Katsm!! My son received one also.</p>
<p>Thanks SBDad, congratulations to your son as well!</p>
<p>SBDad, has your son received any further notification about the scholarship, like when and how we are supposed to certify what college we are going to, etc? My principal showed me the letter she had received that said I would be "notified soon" of the scholarship, but other than that, I haven't heard anything. Thanks.</p>
<p>No, I was told that the winner will not receive anything until mid-June.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks a lot, I was beginning to worry about it.</p>
