Re: need help with finding a scholarship

I just PM'd this to Angier314, but I thought maybe others could also benefit.

"If you can't find exactly what kind of scholarship you'd like, you have a couple different options. Please don't just give up!

One option is calling a couple different schools that you are interested in, and then asking them what kind of scholarships they offer. I know this is time consuming and can be a hassle during FIRST season, but maybe this is something that would be WELL worth your time. You may even want to mention that you have a little science and technology background - FIRST can be used as a reference for millions of different careers, even if the main basis of it isn't exactly what you want to go into.

Another option is calling up different veterinarians in your area (or any kind of careerpeople in your area, most will be helpful) to ask what kinds of skills they are required to learn, what schools they went to, and how they achieved their current career. Something like this may not only open up a couple doors after college, it may also give you some reference points or even just someone to go to for career advice.

Last but not least, later down the road, talk to your school and tell them about FIRST! Maybe the opportunity isn't or wasn't available for you when it came to the scholarship of your choice, but that doesn't mean you can't make it available for others!"

Best of luck, especially to outgoing seniors.
