<p>My son just got invited to interview for this. Does anyone know how hard this is to get (or do all legacies get invited to interview and get one?). The site said $1,000 or more, but it looks like some got more. Does anyone know how much is typically awarded?</p>
<p>My son got invited as well. There isn’t a lot of information I could find either but I searched an old thread and it seems to vary on amount. I believe the minimum if awarded is $1,000 per year and this thread shows a range of $2,800-$3,000 per year:</p>
