The people chosing the scholarship winners were the guidance counselors, the student's mother was a guidance office secretary. Both of his parents worked and all three lived together, he was an only child, and had a horrible GPA. There were students whose GPAs were higher, families made much less, and they were turned down. In Virginia, there is a discount to students who attend in-state schools and have parents who work for the state. There was a huge out cry from students who didn't get anything from the scholarship and should have. His need was less than students attending schools out of state and didn't have athletic scholarships waiting for them, as he did.
