<p>Is anyone here applying to the Ron Brown Scholarship? It's incredibly selective: Of 8,500 applicants last year, only 20 won the $40,000 scholarship. All the kids that win ultimately go to amazing colleges. Of the 20 who won in 2004, 14 are going to Harvard (7), Yale (4), or Stanford (3). This is truly for the best of the best. I am hardly perfect, but I thought I'd try anyway. Post your stats, if you wish.</p>
<p>I just looked at it. <a href="http://www.ronbrown.org/cgi-bin/profile.cgi?user_id=55020%5B/url%5D">http://www.ronbrown.org/cgi-bin/profile.cgi?user_id=55020</a> <--- African American???</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing, athlonmj. I'm sure biracial/multiracial students can compete for the scholarship as well.</p>
