Most of the merit scholarships I’ve seen require exceptional community service and/or exceptional leadership. I know the competition is tough and I really doubt she is going to win awards based on her achievements in those areas. While I’d really like to see what kind of merit aid she could get, I don’t feel it’s worth throwing $100 at tons of schools in hopes of getting those types of merit awards. If the university is looking for enthusiastic, talented scholars with broad interests and well-rounded personality, that is where she might win something.
