Any Bonner Scholar experiences?

My S is applying to be a Bonner Scholar at his school which is a program many schools have. Since he needs to work summers and during school, it seems a good way to get to do some interesting work, get 15000 over 4 years for college costs and priority registration on top of it.

Just wondering if anyone else’s kid have been part of this program to help them fund college.

One of my nieces was a Bonner Scholar. She loved the various projects she worked on, and she got a great education at her college. She recommends it thoroughly.
