[quote=Anonymous]She's won some smaller ones (500-1000), and got into the semi-finalist range for a bigger one that she didn't get. But, she's going to an in-state school (not VA) and they offered her a nice scholarship and they have a new 3-year degree program that will also save them money so they will be able to swing it now. This family didn't have anything saved for college and did not want to take out any loans at all. I agree that it didn't make that much sense to me to spend so much time on $500 and $1000 scholarships, but the mom was absolutely committed to figuring out how to save money. I know she used College Confidential a lot and she became really knowledgeable. Good luck to your DC, it was hard to tell whether you had already applied to scholarships or were just now thinking about it so I'm glad to hear you had already applied! [/quote]
