[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]talent based scholarships - music, sports, and whatnot - are hard to come by if your kid is not recruited. I'd forget that. Your best chances are 1) save agressively; and/or 2) have high stats/ECs. [/quote] I would second the high GPA/SAT/ACT and let him pursue the EC of his choosing to the maximum. If it is something he's been into since MS, even better. See if he can think of a creative project to apply those EC skills. Also, do not be afraid to chuck applications to private institutions which are high in price, but you might get lucky and they like what your kid has to offer in just that EC, and they are willing to give you grants to make it affordable. This is what happened to us. We had no expectations and let kid know it would only happen if the college would come down in price. Some really surprised us. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.[/quote]
