<p>Finally. I have been waiting for the app to go out forever. Is anyone doing this??</p>

3

<p>Yup! But I think my income level could put me at a disadvantage. I know the process is already uber-competitive. Does anyone know hard is it specifically for upper middle class kiddos to get one of these scholarships?</p>

<p>I’m doing it, although I don’t have that much community service hours.</p>

<p>@ Mind on MARS - You got 2 months get busy :slight_smile:
It’s easy to get hours through church, hospital, thrift stores, veterans hospitals, soup kitchen, school tutoring, YMCA, etc… I may live in a small town but most won’t turn away help :slight_smile: Couple hours each week will add up fast!
Good Luck!
Take Care,

<p>It all depends on each scholarship. I won this great scholarship that paid for an entire year, something came up so I didn’t attend college for two years. They took the scholarship back. When applying check on the time limit and when it has to be used. Thanks.
