[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Lots of colleges sponsor “awards” for high schools to give to rising seniors. [/b]The college sets the criteria and the high school chooses the recipient based on that. It’s not like the recipient applied to the college because they were interested in it. These things come to students, not the reverse.

I received the Wellesley Book Award back in the day - can’t remember if it was for academic achievement or community service or character - and yes, I included it on my applications to all schools. The award was an indication that my high school chose me over my peers based on some specific criteria - so yes, it’s an award other schools should know about, too. [/quote]

You perhaps could be correct, but I am not aware of any in the DMV.  I know GW awards scholarships to DC students, but you have to actually attend GW.

It doesnt't sound like OP's kid won some science fair award sponsored by MIT, but rather it was an award where you wrote some essay indicating why you were interested in Duke.  It's strange that the organization that provides the award doesn't actually require the kid to attend Duke, or so it seems.[/quote]
