Isn’t that something that you have to go to for a week, and then get nominated, etc?

I guess I am looking for the type of scholarship that you apply via an application, maybe write an essay. I know my daughter did a few, with no results, unfortunately. I realize there are thousands of kids going for scholarships and we are the “great unwashed” of the middle class - make a decent income, still married, and child hasn’t lived through a great tragedy, although has worked hard and done the best he can do academically.

I know I sound cynical, and I apologize. Please don’t respond with lots of stories of unfortunate kids who really need the scholarships - I know they need them. But in our town, all the scholarships go to kids who have endured a hardship - very deserving in most cases, but not all - and it is tough to be left out because our family is typical.

Thanks for letting me vent, even though I’m sure this will upset some folks. Sorry in advance!
