<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I know that there are scholarships out there that come from places other than the school which you attend. Most of them require some piece of work, like an essay or something.</p>
<p>What I'm wondering is if it really is worth it to write essays and apply for the scholarships, when it seems that your chance of winning is quite slim...</p>
<p>My sister spent quite a bit of time writing a few essays for scholarships like this and ended up not getting anything. </p>
<p>Also, is there a website that has a list of such scholarships?</p>
