[quote=Anonymous]+1 on not as many scholarships for students already in college who may have been given a one time scholarship graduating from high school.  I was given a $10K scholarship my junior year for senior year back in the early '90s.  It was related to my field, but it really helped out as my parents only paid a minimum amount ($8K) as they were MC, but the cost of college kept rising the 4 years I was there.  It allowed me to do an internship one quarter in DC on the Hill despite all the loans I had to take out.  Another friend received a $5K scholarship for senior year.  I would think four $5K scholarships or 2 $10K would make the most impact.

The small $1000 scholarships are nice, but with the cost of everything these days, the real impact would be a slightly larger scholarship they will remember.  I had a couple of those small scholarships going into Freshmen year that I don't even remember now, but the two I do remember is the $10K one for senior year and a National Merit Scholarship for $5K every year of college as long as my grades didn't drop below some minimum average (can't remember what it was as I never came close to it).[/quote]
