[quote=Anonymous]It's been some time, but I had the most success applying for ones that were offered through various local organizations - I got Rotary Club, Elks Club, Exchange Club and other much smaller amounts from very specialized organizations. My dad belonged to the Elks Club, but not to any of the others and I also won a scholarship at the national level from them. Random national scholarships were generally a crapshoot and I got $1,000 from one of them, there were thousands of applications for all of them, even 12 years ago. All told I cobbled together $20k to help with my first year of college with the largest scholarship being $6k. (Only know these amounts because I just cleaned out the last of my crap from my parents' house last week and I found the envelope with all the letters from the various awards and scholarships I recieved.)[/quote]
