Bob, we were in a similar situation. D was reluctant to apply for any outside scholarships because she “was not the top dog in the pack”. I nudged her slightly, and she sent out oh, may be five applications for the community-type scholarships that did not require proof of financial need. We both kept our expectations really low, but I was shocked when she was selected a winner for one of those! It is not a whole lot, but it will cover her books for all 4 years. The committee was mostly impressed with her involvment in HS sports - go figure :rolleyes:!
