Anyone actually one here actually ever get one of those essay-based scholarships?

Paying for College

<p>They seem extremely competitive...
Almost a waste of time to even try.</p>

<p>Has anyone actually gotten one?
Or any other random scholarships found on sites like FastWeb?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

2

<p>Considering it's CC with highly (some would say precociously) ambitious and motivated kids?</p>

<p>Probably.</p>

<p>Won $500 this spring with an essay.</p>

4

<p>Won $1000 three or so weeks ago and read it to 500 Republicans, hahaha.</p>

5

<p>I want to know if anyone here has one ANYTHING via FastWeb; I know of no one.</p>

<p>Fastweb is pretty much a joke. I think everybody has a better chance of winning local scholarships.</p>
