Halftime Hope Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) ETA: correction: into, "...into this thread?" I know April announced her son's and MSPolly's dd as well. There may have been others that I missed: I'm sorry!! I'm so happy for everyone!! Congrats to each one of you and to your students! ETA: I just wanted the happy news to be in one, easy-to-find place. No other reason. Edited February 11, 2010 by Valerie(TX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susann Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 My dd got her letter today. I didn't realize I had been so anxious for her until it arrived!! It didn't help that we didn't have mail delivery Saturday and Tuesday due to snow:glare: Congrats everyone-Happy Dances all around :party::party::party::party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandra in NC Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 My son is a finalist, too! Celebrating with/for you all! Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Could you moms who got their principal packets please tell me in what form factor it is? We're hoping to receive one today and want to know if it's too big and stiff (cardboard reinforcement?) to fit in our normal-sized mailbox. If it is, dh (Reg) will need to plow this morning so the mail carrier can bring it up to the house. Thanks! GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susann Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 They came in a standard size letter for the student notification and a small (6 x8?) envelope for the certificate. Easily fit into your mailbox. Let us know when you find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thank you, Susann! We'll know by mid-afternoon. GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 My daughter's finalist letter and my principal's packet both arrived today in central VA. Here's wishing everyone the best in gaining one of the scholarships. Both my son and I were NM finalists, and neither of us got any money from the program. We're hoping that the third time's the charm:glare:. ~Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomsintheGarden Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Our principal's packet came today! Hopefully the student letter will come tomorrow. I'm counting eight of our WTM students so far. Congratulations, all! GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 :hurray::hurray::hurray::party: Congratulations everyone!!!! And yes, I know becoming an actual *scholar* is pretty rare....but we are going to remain *hopeful*. It would REALLY help dd get to her first choice school!!

Jan in MO Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 DD got both envelopes yesterday (Thursday). Finalist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkholland Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Count my ds in!! He got his letter today! Now we'll see if his first choice college will join us in celebrating with a few $$$ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Congrats to all! And dkholland, we'll be praying and rooting for you as my son would love to see yours there. :) I'm hoping in two years to be celebrating with everyone as my middle son certainly has the ability to be there - if he tests well in Oct. My oldest never had a chance. His writing ability (or lack thereof) still drives me nuts and puts him out of contention. Hearing about so many making it keeps me thinking positively! Congrats again to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Our principal's packet came today! Hopefully the student letter will come tomorrow. I'm counting eight of our WTM students so far. Congratulations, all! GardenMom Ours came on Friday as well. No student letter yet though - I think it's stuck in the (remains of the) snow ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkapp Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 My daughter's letter and the official certificate came in the mail yesterday!! We're thrilled! Since her first choice school is Baylor, finalist ranking means full tuition -- a real blessing! Congratulations to all the other finalists and their families!

Kendall Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Congratulations everyone! I wonder what percentage of WTM board regulars seniors are NMF? Probably a lot higher percentage than our local high school! We received the student letter and principal letter on the same day last week. 5 of us were recovering from the stomach flu that day so it was nice to have something great arrive in the mail. We will now wait to see if he gets the full-ride scholarship he is up for. Kendall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyomarie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Congratulations to all the NM finalists on this board! Our family walked that process 7 years ago with my oldest daughter. She did choose to attend one of the schools that offers a large scholarship for those with NM designations and it was a huge help for us in paying for her college education. I hope some of you find having that designation helpful in getting some scholarship assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
