[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the "college book awards" are not scholarships at all, just, well, books! I think it's the rare one that also comes with the possibility of a scholarship at that specific school. In any case, I think that college admissions people know that [b]these are honors bestowed by the high school faculty[/b] and can only mean good things.

Is this how it works? I won one of these back in the ‘80s from Smith College after an essay competition. I assumed that someone from Smith actually read the essays and picked the best one. I got a certificate and Pride and Prejudice (which I adored) and an invitation to apply to Smith. I wasn’t really sure about the idea of an all girls school (how we referred to them then), but I was flattered and submitted a request for an application. Got a letter back saying “Dear Mr. [unisex first name][last name]. We regret to inform you that Smith is a college for women only. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.”  I snorted. [/quote]
