John Montgomery Belk Scholarship

Daughter’s high school each year nominates outstanding students to various scholarships and foundations at different colleges. High school have very good track record of getting kids receive honors of being final recipient of these scholarships. There are many equally good students; therefore high school will only nominate one child for one scholarship. High school wants to spread these scholarships to other students. Each year they Davidson selects eight student who receive this free full ride at Davidson College. This scholarship is very competitive and I understand that it is very hard to get, but nothing gained without applying for it. I also believe daughter exceeds necessary requirements that are outlined in scholarship page.

My question is can my child freely apply to Belk scholarship own our own without high school nomination process as she may be selected to some other equally good scholarship. Or this scholarship is only through high school nomination. Thanks

Any other pertinent information would be appreciated.
