Horatio Alger National Scholarship

<p>Any information you know anout the scholarship would be helpful. I plan to apply this fall.</p>

<p>It is based on low income and several essays about how you have overcome adversity. I believe these character traits are more importantthan grades. My D was awarded one on the state level. For her it is $2500 divided by 5 years, thus $500 per year. But everything helps. The National winners receive much more.</p>

<p>ahoo2u, Thanks for the response. If you wouldnt mind, share me your daughter's story of adversity. What kind of story will win you a scholarship? My story: lost mother at young age to cancer, father looked to alcohol as escape, thrust into independency. Grateful for any help, thanks!</p>
