<p>on a light note, what do you guys think is the tormenting scholarship ever? that is, which scholarship out there (open to all/most) has the most insane requirements, or requires applicants to do the craziest things?</p>
<p>All I can say is that the Al Neuharth Free Spirit Scholarship is a pain in the you know what. Because I was from an underrepresented state (i.e. no one had applied from my state by deadline) I took a leap of faith and filled the whole thing out in about a week…which was insane. Two essays, two teacher reccomendations, three examples of journalistic work, a school photo, a questionaire, parent info, and test scores, all of which had to be MAILED across the country. It was sooo much work during an incredibly busy time of year, and I didn’t even get the scholarship. Bummer. But I guess you’ll never know if you never try!</p>
