Ah HELP! Apply for Scholarship due in 2 weeks?

Paying for College
1

<p>I come from AZ, which as a very prestigious scholarship called the Flinn Scholarship. It’s valued at about $45,000, but you have to go to an in-state school to get it (ASU or UofA). The application is due in about 2 weeks, and I didn’t really think I wanted to do it when I decided about 3 weeks ago, when everyone else was getting recommendations and starting applications, but I just had some pang of desire to apply.</p>

<p>Do you think it would be too much to ask my three teachers to fill out the forms and such on such SHORT notice? I’ll be applying to a lot of out of state colleges (like Ivies, MIT, Stanford, etc.), and so I don’t want to annoy them too much, especially with such a short notice one. In addition, the application requires THREE essays, which is more than most colleges, and I still haven’t even started writing my essays for Harvard (EA school) or any others.</p>

<p>Do you think I should apply?</p>

<p>You should at least try, if you have a decent shot at it. It’s a huge scholarship if you end up staying in state. Are you in good standing with all those teachers? I say go for it. Most recommendations can be reused or reworked, so once they’re written it shouldn’t be too terrible to ask for a redux later. Then bring all your adults large gift baskets, preferably edible, of thanks.</p>
