Can't apply for any scholarships? :(
Hi, just some background first: 4 yrs on FRC team, vp 11th grade, co-prez 12th grade, business subgroup (won chairman's 2 yrs in a row-woohoo!)
- Are any of you having the same problem where you are not able to apply for any FIRST scholarships? I'm a little bummed because I'm not doing a STEM major which means there are 59 scholarships that I can apply for (supposedly), but then when I go through the list I see none of the colleges I am applying for (yipee), and only ONE scholarship is for all courses at study at any school BUT only certain parts of So. Cal. can apply.
Plus, this is the first year where Dean's List nominees can't be seniors...
I get that some of you may say that I don't deserve a scholarship bc I'm not doing STEM and others may just see this as useless nagging... but am I the only person who feels a little irked about this? After putting so much time and effort into my team and helping us win national/international recognition for certain things I don't even have the OPPORTUNITY to apply.
(Esp. since it is really hard for "business" members to explain their role w/ FIRST when applying for college/scholarships... idk this is just bothering me.)
Let us discuss ways around this (please)? Any advice?
