Local scholarships are usually smaller in amount and often have some criteria that might make it hard for your kid to qualify. At our local high school, need, community service and overcoming adversity are often criteria looked for. When we have a needy kid who has overcome poverty and spent a lot of time in one community service project–that kid can get THOUSANDS of dollars. But if you don’t have a lot of $$ need, not much coming your way.
