Okay, the scholarship interview is over and you've won the money. What do you wear?

<p>At the interview, I made an effort to wear suit and tie and it was well-received. Elder folks get a kick when a teenager shows respect and takes their organization serious by overdressing for the occasion. I won one of my scholarship awards and am awaiting the response for the second. Now they're going to have a tiny ceremony/luncheon to honor the winners. What do I wear to this? It's on a schoolday during lunch at a publicly reserved historical building. Casual? Semi-Formal? Formal? Which outfit would show the most respect and etiqutte without being overdone?</p>

<p>Nice long sleeve polo, khaki pants and casual shoes. In between school clothes and formal. If it is dinner, go with suite.</p>

<p>Ask. Sometimes people wear suits to lunch too. You've already impressed them; there's no need to overdress. It's perfectly acceptable to enquire what the appropriate attire for the occasion is.</p>

<p>Maybe a nice dress shirt/tie w/o the jacket and nice casual pants. Remember that some of these people may be coming from work (where they wear suits/ties). The easiest thing to do would be wear what I suggested above (bring a jacket too) & get there a little early. When you see what they are dressed in then either take off the tie or add the jacket. Good luck & congratulations!</p>

<p>My son wore khakis, shirt, tie and sport coat to similar scholarship awards presentations.</p>

<p>I would wear khakis and a nice semi-business shirt.</p>
