Scholarship Question for the Parents-please help :)

<p>I know, it's late, but are there any scholarships still available? </p>

<p>I've been searching on fastweb, and most of the available ones all consider financial need, which would probably disqualify me. (My family isn't rich or anything but we aren't poor either and I don't need scholarships to attend college but it would be nice to have a few.)</p>

<p>Question 1: When scholarships say that they consider financial need, what exactly do they mean? Is there a cut off money amount for who's considered financially "needy"?</p>

<p>Question 2: I have relatively high test scores (except PSAT). What are some scholarships that are more number driven? I mean I do have ecs and voluteer activites, but I haven't done anything amazing in terms of that (such as making a great breakthrough in scientific research.)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You are a senior? Where have you applied to school? Do you have a particular intended major?</p>

<p>Yes, a senior. Biology</p>

<p>And I have applied to HY (but no P), Cornell, Duke, MIT, Stanford, some of my state schools, JHU...</p>

<p>I did fill out financial aid forms but like I've said before, I don't think I'll get much unless they're merit based.</p>
