BIG scholarship stats, anyone?

<p>I'm thinking Morehead, Robertson, Jefferson; Coca-Cola scholars, Prudential, etc.; the 1-in-500 chance awards. There are lots of posts about these, but not many posting their actual achievements.
So who's applying/finalist/won these, and what are your stats like?</p>

<p>I don't know stats on the winners. I did see an interesting press release on scholarship awards at
<a href="http://www.collegetoolkit.com/Press-Releases/prScholarshipAward.aspx%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.collegetoolkit.com/Press-Releases/prScholarshipAward.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Make sure you've applied for scholarships in your area and at your high school (the low-hanging fruit) before tackling the big awards.</p>

<p>Some good scholarship sites to check out are:

<p>Coca Cola Scholars has a website. D was a finalist.</p>

<p>There are probably lots of others ..... you can look on the different scholarship sponsor sites, and then Google the names of the winners...you'll be amazed at how much you can find out about them with a little research!</p>
