[quote=Anonymous]I think we all hear from numerous sources about having your kid get creative about seeking out scholarship opportunities- even small ones can add up and there’s no limit to how many a student can apply for. DD’s school counseling center periodically send out lists of scholarship opportunities. An acquaintance belongs to an organization that offers scholarships to young women - she recommended my dd apply. Dd was honored and dove in. It ended up being really time consuming. There were two levels of applying - which included an in-person interview and a phone interview- just to get the green light to be allowed to apply. The app itself was lots of writing- small essays and a big one, two recs, deep dive into volunteer hours. I joked with her that she could have spent the same amount of time babysitting and almost earned the same amount of money. Is this normal for scholarship apps? At least now I know for for my younger two kids how to plan[/quote]
