<p>I got a letter from USAA and it said I was nominated as a winner. Is this something significant that I should put on my resume?</p>
<p>NOt really!</p>
<p>Did you do anything, or did it come on its own? If not, its not worth the paper its printed on.</p>
<p>You have to have been nominated by a teacher to receive this. In my opinion, it is an honor in itself. I believe it also makes you eligibile for scholarships, and even if it's only a few dollars, it's still a help.</p>

Well, at least they openly admit that they expect the award winners to buy their stuff...</p>
