Time to apply for scholarships!

[JVN]

Vince,
Excellent idea starting this thread.


Clarkson University also likes throwing money at FIRST participants!

CU gives out tons more money than they announce (I believe they give out the most FIRST scholarship money of any school).

What harm is there in applying?
I love Clarkson, and you could too!
