FIRST is an incredible experience for anyone who's interested in anything. Engineer? Got that in spades. Public Relations anybody? (my major, hehe) Graphic Design? IT? Even Political Science...someone has to liason with our allies. I would, however love to see many more scholarships that don't have the engineering stipulation attached. I would've loved to apply for a FIRST scholarship, and quite possibly could've had a chance at winning one, but I didn't qualify for any, due to the fact that I am dead-set on going to Purdue, but I am a Communications major with a Public Relations emphasis and a minor in Women's Studies. Hmmm... I think all of the college students need to talk to their schools about offering non-engineering FIRST scholarships, and also that FIRST needs to actively solicit them.
