[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 986285, member: 13921"] We have had 2 in our center receive Casey scholarships. My daughter had a similar resume, but lost out because you have to apply by Dec. 31 of you junior year. Might be January, but it was pretty, freaking early. The Casey scholarship is a pretty sweet deal, both of them received a large chunk of change for 4 years. If I remember correctly, it paid for most of their tuition and expenses. Both daughters have applied for Teamsters scholarships and neither one received anything. The oldest is now a physics PhD candidate that graduated 4th in her class (and the highest by a long-shot for 'real' degrees.) The youngest is a double major, AgEd/BioEd and will be done in a year and a half. I figured the youngest would get something from the Teamsters as I have been on comp for 13 months now. Notta The oldest paid for her schooling with a University scholarship that paid a bit more than half and the rest was through other scholarships (NASA, National Science Foundation, and a few others). The youngest has received scholarships from foundations that support women in agriculture. Both had to borrow money, but not that much. My wife and I have paid a little, here and there, but again, not that much. The key is to have lots of AP classes in HS. Both had better than 4.0 in HS and the oldest maintained a 3.9+ as an undergrad, the youngest a 3.7+ as an undergrad. If you want people to give you money to go to school, you have to have awesome grades, be an asset to the community and a school leader. [/QUOTE]
