[quote=Anonymous]DC got into all four EA schools, one SCEA deferral to an Ivy.  On April lst DC will hear about the deferral and the decisions of the other Ivies (statistically probably a "no").  That's all well and good. But I'm starting the application to independent scholarships chore today and am bewildered.  I have "The Ultimate Scholarship Book" (as big as one of those yellow phone books we used to get) in front of me.  Kid wants aerospace engineering and has been accepted at top tech schools for that. We really need merit aid which few to none of the schools to which he has applied offer.  (Yes, already filed FAFSA, the OSS and the Idoc and some schools have already offered him Stafford loans but we probably make too much money to expect more from the schools he is applying to ).  While we look like we have a high HHI on paper, most of our resources go to support for two other SN kids so we really need independent scholarships.  How did you make the decision of what scholarships to apply to?  Did anyone use a free matching service?  Any ideas would be welcome.  TIA[/quote]
