<p>Hi y'all,</p>
<p>So I'm planning on taking a gap year before attending Harvard in the fall of 2015. I've heard about people in similar gap year situations who use their time to apply to a bunch of scholarships. I guess my questions are 1) is there a general thread for merit-based scholarships (I'm assuming it's easy to find and I'm just bad at finding threads) and 2) are there any noteworthy scholarships that I would be ineligible for due to my age when entering college? Or would I be treated the same way as a high school senior. Thanks!</p>
