[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to be a pessimist but it is likely too late to apply to any larger scholarship programs. I have a friend who has devoted the past two years to finding programs for her daughter to apply to. [b]She's been hearing their decisions for the past few months.[/b] I echo what someone else said about listening to the Getting In podcast from last week. It has very valuable information. I wonder if taking a gap year might not be a good idea if you can't swing the finances this year. [/quote]

What results did she get? My sense (I'm OP) is that the smaller scholarships are just not worth the application effort.  DC is up for some major 10K national scholarships but we won't know the results for some time.  In the meantime, UVA w/ stafford loan makes the most sense.  I've also done the same with DC1 who is also in a Va state school (getting a Stafford loan).  We can juggle this.  I just wanted to know if there are any other scholarships out there that DC2 (who does do his own work) should be applying to.  Yes, he was a Jefferson Scholar (full ride at UVA) nominee and made it up through the two interviews but not to the on-campus stage.  Thanks for all your responses.  [/quote]
