<p>if you were really rich and you could create your own scholarship, what would your scholarship be for?</p>
<p>Mine would be a competetion to find the person who enjoys life the most. Full scholarship to anywhere in the world. Your scores don’t matter. Your connections don’t matter. Your awards/EC’s don’t matter. It’s about who lives their life as if they shall never live another day. Who laughs while the world lives with them. To quote the song by Tim McGraw “to live like you were dying”</p>
<p>Mine would be a race-blind schlorship that recognizes scholastic achievement and also recognizes WORK as an economic necessity as a result of family finances. </p>
<p>It’s a shame that allot of young, non-minority, talented students are penalized for not having a large amount of traditional of EC’s compared to their “better off” competitors because they must contribute elsewhere. I.E., family finances.</p>
<p>I dont think this will taken very well by most of the people of C.C…</p>
<p>I’d do one just for my high school. It would be full ride, but not really looking at the ECs or scores either, mainly focusing on creativity. It would be full of nonsensical questions like “If you were an M&M what color would you be and why?”</p>
<p>I would offer a local scholarship that would reward excellence in a variety of areas…that is, would reward the bright, well-rounded kid. Kids who, over time, got great grades, excelled in extracurricular activites, worked and volunteered. Our school tends to have many families who don’t qualify for much/any aid, but are not rich enough to afford private schools on their own. State schools are the norm here. My scholarship would have no tip for financial need or ethnic diversity, as there are plenty of those already.</p>
<p>I would create a scholarship for people who are black, gay, and Democrat. That way, all the PC people would love me.</p>
<p>oh-oh…I’m not PC!</p>
<p>I’d have one for music students, but it wouldn’t be decided by auditions or who has won the most competitions. It would be for the students who showed the greatest love of music for its own sake–who are pursuing music as a career even though they may not be the best of the best, just because they know they would not be happy doing anything else.</p>
<p>and maybe one for homeschoolers, who get left out of a lot of scholarship competitions…</p>
<p>To heck with scholarships. I’d start my own university. :D</p>
<p>A scholarship to whoever outdoes Washington Carver in terms of peanuts. Maybe a radio made of peanut shells, etc.</p>
<p>scholarships for people like me who moved a lot and have weak ECs as a result.</p>
<p>I would make a scholarship for people with a certain amount of common sense. They would be tested based on the creativity/decision-making skills. Some of the smartest people are too often overshadowed by the ‘brainy’ people who can figure out trig. problems in their head.</p>
<p>I like susantm and indieice’s scholarships…because they are ones I could actually have a chance in…</p>
<p>My scholarship would be for the kid who works his ass off. Like if he started out with D’s and ended with A’s, or had 1000 SATs and went up to like 1300. Some kids aren’t born intelligent, they have to actually study to get good grades, and it ****es me off that a lot of lazy people take the SAT once and get a perfect score, while others spend hundreds of dollars and hours upon hours to get theirs to go up a few points. (okay, not saying that if you take the SAT once and get a perfect score that you’re lazy, but I just know some people that are actually lazy but super-naturally-intelligent)
And it no special preference will be given to minorities, women, or anything else, because the poor white man needs something too.</p>
