<p>Today I was notified that I won the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship which is basically a tuition waiver to any Massachusetts State School on the basis that you pass all of of your MCAS exams and receive an "Advanced" score on one of them. Almost every person I know who is at the least, an "okay" student (say 3.00+ GPA) received it and the amount of money itself is pretty insignificant (the tuition at UMass Amherst is like $1,200 - the rest of the $20+K a year in in fees and boarding.)</p>
<p>While the amount of money itself isn't much to shake a stick at and there isn't necessarily a ton of prestige in getting the scholarship (25% of kids in the state receive it each year) - should I still bother to put it down on my college application?</p>
