I am spending my day off working on scholarship applications ( organizing for my readers)...I'm a little disappointed in the number of applications at this point....wondering why students don't take advantage of opportunities. When I was a student I completed as many applications as I could...I like the idea of free money. I guess students these days think that writing a one page essay is too much work.
My children will learn and know the importance of opportunity.
I will keep working...I will not be deterred today!

I completely agree! We sent out numerous emails to students about the opportunity and there were several that I spoke to personally. We probably had about 10-15 who indicated they were going to apply but I only ended up with 3. It’s disappointing especially because I told each of them the pool of applicants would be fairly small which means a great chance of receiving an award. Hello, the odds are in your favor!
But at the same time it makes me feel that the students who do receive scholarships are just that much more deserving!
Keep on fighting for TRiO – you are making a difference!
