Thanks for posting info about the DOE Scholars Program. I will share it with my son.

My mom told me about this while I was sharing with her some internships I’m beginning to apply to. Did you have a kid that went through this? or do you know anyone who did? I just want to know if the process is worth going through, writing an essay and everything. I haven’t written an essay in three semesters so that would take some work renewing the brainpower it takes to write an essay since the only things I’ve been writing are Lab reports and cover letters. Also, I’ve read the site, but there’s not really any info on the number of people who apply and how many actually get in, and how competitive it is. I’m not here for competition, but teamwork, and I don’t want to be pitted against other students. Anything you know about this or where I could look?
