Re: Dean Kamen Issues Important Homework Assignment

As a graduating senior, my biggest problem with the scholarships offered is simply that I'm not applying to any of the schools. Except for three on that list, all of the scholarships are only for specific schools (none of which are the schools I got accepted to early or that I sent an application out). There's the Society of Women Engineers Scholarship Award, but I'm not a woman. There's the ASME-ASME Auxiliary FIRST Scholarship, but I'm planning on studying electrical engineering. That leaves the Smallparts scholarship being the only option to me.

My request to FIRST: Get more general scholarships. I'd imagine the school-specific scholarships would be easier to set up and offer to students, but if you could find more scholarships like the ASME or Smallparts scholarships, I'm sure a lot more people would apply for them.
