My son got his award letter today! MSU has granted him 11 k per year in scholarship money and a one time study abroad scholarship (up to 5k). He already has 1500 from back in elementary school. Dr. Ben Carson sponsored that one. I remember he had to write an essay. He won that in 4th grade. He has also been applying for obscure scholarships he's found FastWeb lately. I am so incredibly proud of him. His hard work is paying off for him quite well!

I remember in high school applying for everything even if I wasn't majoring in that particular subject I wrote my essays based on my intended major (international relations) and made the connection to the different topics. I ended up getting a lot of small awards ($500-1000) and most renewable. It was such a surprise. He might consider that, too. How could his intended major work or link to a topic he may not have thought about for the scholarship topics.

Adding my voice to Kiki and Laura to encourage DS to apply for any and all smaller scholarships he might be eligible for. There are so many that never even get an application! Only because of the primaries, do I recognize Dr Carson's name, wonderful that he funds. scholarships
