Re: FIRST Scholarships
I applied for Purdue's FIRST Scholarships, but I didn't get anything. I don't think they're pointless, but I do think they're way too specialized - too many engineering only scholarships. Not everyone wants to be an Engineer, although many do - and more power to em. This might be the reason why many don't apply for the FIRST scholarships - they know they will not receive them since they aren't going into an engineering field. I think if the scholarships were for engineering, science, and technology fields, then you'd see many many more people applying.
Just my .02 cents... back to figuring out a way to pay for college.
