<p>I don't know if there was a thread made for this one -- this one's quite local (like only 6 counties), but it gives pretty much full ride for life...which is amazing. Laptops, undergrad, and grad, traveling expenses. This scholarship would be a dream to win.</p>
<p>Deadline was on Dec. 1st though. I was wondering if anyone here from CC applied.</p>
<p>I'm applying, which county are you from?</p>
<p>contra costa :P how about you?</p>
<p>san joaquin; idk what chance i have of getting it though, seems impossible given the prize and the types of ppl applyig</p>
<p>The prize, as I said, is like God in the form of a scholarship. Seriously. And the chances I think I calculated were like 1-2% or something like it. I really don't think I'll get it, but it doesn't hurt to try. =</p>
<p>Wow! I didn't realize that scholarship was so big! I pass "Buck Mansion" everyday!</p>
<p>=D did you apply?</p>
<p>Confession....I'm a parent. One of my D's best friends lives next door to the mansion! I hope she applied, but no, my daughter did not ( I wish! ). Same girl is friends with a co-workers daughter and I just asked him. She applied. Solano county</p>
<p>Ahh! I always forget there are parents here on the forums...as evidenced with the Parent Cafe. Anyhow, I didn't know there was actually a "Buck Mansion" -- but now that you mention it, I do remember this really resort-ish picture of a house on the main page which probably is the mansion itself.</p>
<p>Anyway, more people than I expected replied to this. Anyone else?</p>
<p>Damn, I got the rejection letter today. =[ So did my friends...</p>
