<p>I was wondering how important your vocational plans as a requirement for scholarships is?</p>
<p>For example, a lot of scholarships I am applying to have as a requirement that "you must intend to pursue a course of study in _______ (marketing, business, biology, etc." </p>
<p>Well what if I'm interested in a lot of those fields, but not sure yet? Can I still apply? I guess what I'm really asking is do they check to see if you actually end up studying that in college? Would they take the scholarship away? Would I be wasting my time applying for these types of scholarships?</p>
<p>Also...while I'm at it...how important is financial need in scholarships that consider it? For example, would I be wasting my time applying for the Gates Millenium Scholarship if my parents make $90,000 a yr?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
