[quote=Anonymous]Agree that he should be applying to small local ones, however, he should apply to literally every scholarship (even the big ones like the Coca-Cola scholarship and the Wal-mart one, etc) like it's a part-time job. Use online lists/resources to find ones he is eligible for (make him do it!). Applying to essentially every scholarship I was eligible for, I got 100% of my first year paid for, about 75% of the other three years paid for, and 100% of my study abroad paid for. (Granted, I had a 4.0, 1550 SAT, and tons of activities, so YMMV!) If your son has anything to set him apart, try to find scholarships that tie into that -- ethnicity, background, hobbies, skills, service, etc. [/quote]
