<p>My son was called back as a finalist for the Nordstrom scholarship. They emailed while we were out of town on East Coast college visits. We cut the trip short to get back on a Friday for the interview. Despite the scholarship being advertised as a “merit” scholarship, awarded based on academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, leadership, etc., etc., the committee was chaired by the Vice President of Diversity for Nordstrom, and a second committee member was from the Diversity Affairs Office. Guess what??? </p>

<p>If they want to give away minority scholarships, they should advertise it as such and not waste the time of kids who have very few scholarships to go after that are actually awarded based on their own hard work and achievement. As for me, I’ll spend my money at Mark Shale and Von Maar.</p>

<p>^ It does say “financial need”. I made “finalist” for two scholarships. I didn’t get either one. The other finalist had greater need.</p>
