How do you know the odds? I think that’s why my D was so successful in that many thought they didn’t have much chance so they didn’t apply. My daughter has secured several scholarships over the last 3 years ranging from $750 to $2,000. Most scholarships only require an application and essay, at least the ones my D has applied to. She did have a study abroad one that required the essay to be written in the foreign language and a recording of her reading the essay in that language.</p>
