Just got a $22,000 scholarship... Hallelujah

<p>...from the Northern California Scholarship Foundation. It's $5500/year and it was just an application and an interview :) :) :) There's one less loan I'll be taking out :D</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>That's awesome!!!!!!!!! Every parent on CC is drooling!!!!!</p>

<p>Wow, congrats, good for you!</p>

<p>congrats. What's the website for the scholarship?</p>

<p>Well they aren't an open scholarship... they invite 400 schools to nominate a student each and about 80 are chosen from applications to interview. Then 40 of those students are chosen to recieve the scholarship. <a href="http://mill-valley.freemasonry.biz/scholarships.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mill-valley.freemasonry.biz/scholarships.htm&lt;/a> has some information, but the scholarship value has gone up since then (they list it at $16,000... when I originally applied it was valued at $20,000 but they have since raised it.)</p>

<p>Thanks for the congrats, btw :)</p>

<p>Anyone this year get chosen for an interveiw this year yet? I got a call that said I did! Im so excited!</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

<p>thank you but i was wondering if anyone else is doing this or did this last year....</p>

<p>Congrats.</p>

<p>But before you celebrate too much, if you've also got a need-based financial aid offer, make sure that your school won't just reduce their grant aid by $5,500 per year. Some do just that.</p>
