<p>At our local public library I checked out a few books with lists of scholarships. However most of them are extremely specific as to place of residence, ethnicity, academic major, health problems, employment, etc. So I can see that some of those might not get applications. I didn’t see any my D qualified for and there were hundreds listed. </p>
<p>This spring I was on a committee to review applications for scholarships our choir booster club gets out. We only had six apps for the two senior scholarships and only one application for three underclass scholarships (for camp or lessons). I was surprised at the lack of applications since we have a lot of students with financial need who say they cannot pay the required $50 fee for uniforms and supplies. The applicaton wasn’t long or difficult. It was rather frustrating since the booster club works so hard to raise the money for the scholarships.</p>
