<p>And keep in mind when students apply for scholarships MOST of the students vying for that same scholarship are likely to be cream of the crop students. Every school, every town has them. It is sometimes a mystery why committees choose one winner over another - there are ABSOLUTELY no guarantees! </p>
<p>Most kids, if they are VERY lucky, will apply for several outside scholarships and be happy to get a couple of them. But they are NO LESS a student for NOT getting them. </p>
<p>And one final comment…while being a top-notch go-getter student at this moment in your family’s life seems all-important, success in life will largely be dependent on the kind of PERSON she is, brains not withstanding. My dream for my children is for all those ducks to be in line first and foremost - for them to be caring, responsible, giving, motivated people not just for themselves, but for others in the world around them.</p>
