~ i don’t think this is a scam, but i suggest to NOT buy the yearbook because it’s expensive

~ there is a lot of the same crap they send to you to fill out, but i personally think it’s worth it if you end up with a scholarship. make sure to list a lot of activities in the form.

~ the people that work for the USAA have a long process of elimination: first a teacher nominates you and you get a “Who’s Who Among Honor Students” envelope. if you don’t get eliminated then, you get a “Who’s Who Among All-American Scholars” envelope. i’m not sure what happens then because that’s when i got eliminated, but the next year, they sent me a “Who’s Who in Leadership and Service” envelope because i was still in the top 10%. This envelope gave me a second chance at the scholarship. I also got nominated again, so i could’ve applied either way.

~ SUMMARY: fill out the forms, don’t buy the yearbook, and make sure to list as many activities as you can when filling out the Student Biography Form.
