<p>Also remember that there were 52,000 applicants to UCLA and every one of them can apply for this $1,000 scholarship, which requires several essays about leadership, has a large subjective component to the award process, and requires you to put in work hours if you get it (probably including calling up students the following year to tell them they should apply for the scholarship!). Your daughter has already written 3 essays for UC; I would let her off the hook on this one. The Regents scholarship would be a different story.</p>
