I did not seem to find a thread for this years applicants. So here you go! Drop any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions 
Feel free to PM any questions (or ask here). I won in 2015.
@CourtneyThurston How much was financial need considered? Do you think it is worth applying with a family income of 100,000+?
@CourtneyThurston I also have a question. Is it worth applying? Did you think you had a good chance? After writing many college essays, I’m not sure if I’m up for another one for this scholarship.
how do we know if 25,000 applicants have already submitted the application???
@woalwals I don’t think it has 25,000 applicants or it would’ve closed already
I am hoping that is the case^ I have yet to submit
Also do we have to submit it by tonight or by midnight tomorrow night?
^ midnight tomorrow night.
It’s a last minute question but when we’re filling out all our activities and community service, can I list one activity in both sections? For example, this is my 4th year in this one non-profit organization at my school where I compete, attend meetings, fundraise, etc. All that member stuff. But we also do a lot of community events so I’ve collected a ton of hours through there. Can I list it in both sections or am I just over thinking this?
Yay! Submitted.
@greetings12 You probably could if you have nothing else to put for volunteer work.
I also applied!
Good luck! @NayaTheVA
@math3matical Good luck to you as well!
