| 2blue, I would like to think she would "be earning a darn good "hourly wage" on time spent on scholarship applications." if she spent the time to do it. What is really upsetting is that she only picked one or at most two merit scholarships to apply from each of the schools offer merit aids. She did not even apply to many of the "good" scholarships from those schools. Because she has to "help sell hot dogs" at HS football game or something. All her teachers and GC love her. But these teachers and GC do not decide if her gets any merit aid or not.
For examples, last night is the deadline for a major scholarship application. Instead, she helped GC at school to do other kids stuffs until 8PM. And only after that she came home working on her own essay and fill the application.
I mean, recommendation letters from GC or teachers will be great for each and every applicants for any major scholarship. At the end, the focus will still on "scholar" part - GPA and test scores. |
