<p>Hi. Just got word my son is getting a $2k scholarship from a sports association. Big Yay! Criteria is academics, character and need. They have to be members of the assoc, but it's not about talent in the sport. Should this go on his UC application in the Awards section? Is this significant in AOs? UCs only give you 5 spaces for Awards, so he'll have to take something out, or smoosh two together to fit it.</p>
<p>If it's more significant than his other honors, make room for it. He also should explain the significance: XXX award based on character and academics in the XXX region.</p>
<p>If, for instance, his other honors are school-wide, and this is a regional award, it would be more significant.</p>
<p>If he gets any other honors after his app is submitted, he can mail the colleges an update. I suggest snail mail, not e-mail, to make sure that his info is not overlooked.</p>
