<p>My D was in a similar situation, she only applied for a couple of “higher” probability scholarships such as NM and the Byrd. She might have applied to a couple more local scholarships, but they would have been non-renewable and for 1k or less; she decided to concentrate on institutional scholarships instead. The merit money counts against her WS allotment before grants, so it has been helpful in a minor way.</p>
