<p>Hahaha, my 3rd thread about scholarships in 3 days. I'm totally a roll.</p>
<p>Just making these threads out of simple curiosity to see who applied. This one is a $1000 scholarship for nominated seniors from each participating high school for Comcast. Each school is only allowed to nominate and give a single application to one senior, and yours truly happened to be one of them. :]</p>
<p>Anyone else get chosen to apply for the scholarship?</p>
<p>I did that one last year - it is a GOOD one! If you are nominated by your school and get everything in on time, you have a very high % of getting it. I'm in California, and they had a really nice luncheon presentation at the state capitol. Speeches by Garemendi and the state superintendent of schools, pictures with your state representatives, tours of the capitol, tickets to a baseball game... it was nice!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>THAT'S SO COOL =D Dang, that is a LOT of stuff for such little work. I'm so lucky I got nominated :]</p>
<p>Ch-ch-ch check your emails! Because finalist notifications came out today! AND I GOT IT! </p>
<p>=DDDDDDDDDDDD SO HAPPY. Anyone else get the e-mail too?</p>
<p>Yeah, I got it. Fun stuff. Really, there is a presentation and stuff? That's fancy</p>
<p>good stuff!!</p>
<p>How do you apply for this and get someone to recommend you? Do you have to get a guidance counselor to recommend you, or can it be a teacher?</p>
<p>Are teachers nice about this, or do they get really annoyed?</p>
<p>I'm foreseeing asking a bunch of teachers to write letters for about 30 different schollies that might give 500 bucks. Anything to help with plane fare to and from college.</p>
<p>Counseling announced they will provide 1 nomination and requested your resume if you wanted to apply. I got chosen from my school.</p>
<p>I asked one teacher to write a rec for me and have been using that same rec for all my colleges and all my scholarships so far. Also have a community leader rec handy if they wanted it.</p>
<p>Recycle your recs. It will save you and your teachers/community leaders a lot of time.</p>
<p>I got it too! Yay!</p>
<p>Haha I just sent in my acceptance form. Used my senior pic...did anyone use a more formal pic?</p>
<p>I got it as well. I also submitted my senior pic, which I figured would be formal enough. I know it’s not much in the scheme of college expenses, but every bit helps!</p>
<p>^ I just realized I meant less formal. I was worried I sent in too formal of a pic haha</p>
<p>(Even though 1k isn’t much, it boosts a lot to your pride to know your 4 years of high school at least was worth something – which may not be the case for your top choice school if they reject you or something lol)</p>
<p>Is it too late to apply for this?</p>
<p>Uhm.</p>
<p>If the scholarship winners have already been selected, yes? lolol.</p>
