Hispanic and Private Merit Scholarships-Which ones are worth applying to???

<p>I’ll start with the Robert Byrd scholarship, it’s for 1.5k/yr, renewable for 4 yrs:</p>

<p>[Robert</a> C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program](<a href=“http://www.ed.gov/programs/iduesbyrd/index.html]Robert”>http://www.ed.gov/programs/iduesbyrd/index.html)</p>

<p>The application is reasonable and my D1 also received another, smaller, local scholarship that was tied to the Byrd application. The important thing to note is that each state runs the Byrd scholarship differently, so you have to go through your state contact for information. A specified number of scholarships is given to each congressional district; for instance, our state has 5 districts and there are over 300 awards…anyone have an idea how many graduating srs there are per average congressional district??</p>

<p>This scholarship is open to any student, there is no need factor involved.</p>
