<p>Some of us (me included) have offered specific names of schools and scholarships that Dad II’s son would certainly be a contender for. Again I say…the McNair at U of South Carolina is an outstanding award…outstanding. The school is really a rising star and has some outstanding programs. All I got in reply was that $10,000 was too much to pay. With the McNair (which includes a reduction to instate tuition) the student would not be paying $10,000 per year…and even if they did, that is a bargain and really comprises room/board costs. The Pogue at UNC-Chapel Hill is another outstanding award and is given to OOS students too. What about Emory Scholars? Any chance his school might nominate him for that? He would have to be nominated and then apply, but again…excellent. There are lots of choices for a financial safety but not too many are free. There aren’t many free rides out there…period.</p>
