<p>Students in New York get letters directly from the New York State Department of Education. S got his on Friday.</p>
<p>Way to go Soccrkid! My D in GA also got hers yesterday.</p>
<p>Winners in California were infomred on May 29th according to our school</p>
<p>Got notification letter today in Texas. Our son got one. Now got to figure out what it is.</p>
<p>YEAH!!! I just go the Robert C Byrd scholarship... mailed to my counselor... he just called!!! I'm from Texas.</p>
<p>freshnup - it's $1500 per year for four years. It's the only merit scholarship awarded by the US government.</p>
<p>How long were decisions released after the application was due? MA was due on June 1 (I mistyped 15 before); I'm just wondering when one can expect to hear back...</p>
<p>Any Florida student receive any info about this?</p>
<p>woo hoo! Thanks fireflyscout. That's some pretty good green. I just read on the Texas site that it won't be available to the student until 3-6 weeks after school starts.</p>
<p>The Byrd money will be sent directly to the college. Most colleges are aware of how the Byrd money is distributed and know when to expect it.</p>
<p>Has anyone from Ohio actually gotten information about this? The list was posted almost 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything from my school or in the mail (I'm on the list =P).</p>
<p>Here's an article about what they did at Stanford due to late Byrd sships...

<p>I got the letter today in Oklahoma saying I didn't get the scholarship. Good luck everyone else!</p>
<p>Woohoo! Got it about two weeks ago. Just never posted here about it. I'm from Virginia. Yay!</p>
<p>runforfun,
My D is recipient, we are in Ohio. Last year check was sent directly to our home address sometime in September. However, we have to report to her school that she is recipeint. We did not hear anything new for this year. D. had to renew it, she had email in spring.</p>
<p>Sorry if this there's an obvious answer to this question, but I'm from NY and got this scholarship, and my dad and I aren't sure what to do next -- do we notify my college, HESC...?</p>
<p>Thrice-- you can call the FA office in your college and ask them what to do.</p>
<p>Guess I can assume my D did not get this :( Was really hoping for this one too, we are in NY and it has been a couple of weeks since someone on here said they had heard. Oh well...</p>
<p>For Virginia, they sent a form for the college to fill out. It is sent back to the Virginia office and the money is forwarded to the college.</p>
<p>Bump. Any results from MI (particularly from the west side) yet?</p>
