<p>It won’t help the OP, but for others, I second the idea of looking into scholarships when the child is young There’s a group in our county that gives a decent sized scholarship to an 8th grader. I never remember it until I see an announcement that a local kid has won it, but I bet there are a lot fewer 8th grade applicants than if it was offered to Seniors.</p>
<p>My son is an Eagle Scout and I had heard about some scholarships available to Eagles…the ones I found out about were either need based, or were given by the colleges but only in the amount of $500. But check this out!</p>
