<p>I spoke with a friend & he said that his son was given an Eagle Scout Merit Award from his college--$1000-1500/year for 4 years at the private college son attended in engineering. This makes me very happy, since I hadn't thought to mention it or ask for any merit award due to his Eagle Scout Rank & my son will be attending the same U, also in engineering!</p>
<p>My son was offered a 1/3 tuition scholarship at an LAC he was accepted to for being an Eagle Scout. We were also suprised because the only mention he made of it was when he filled out the general application and he put in Eagle Scout somewhere. There are however, quite a few Eagle Scout scholarships not tied to particular colleges.</p>
<p>Many of the Eagle Scout scholarships require demonstrated financial need. We would not qualify for that, but are happy if they want to give us some assistance based on merit. Congrats on your son's award. What school did he end upattending?</p>
