Nothing like the lazy days of summer to prove that a college education is not worth it. Most of the kids we know are slaving away at internships, most earning nothing, and some extremely lucky ones taking home $9 an hour. Meanwhile, recent grads are competing for barista positions all over the nation. One very bright and talented Barnard girl we know had FOUR interviews, including one with the owner, before she was finally hired to prepare coffee in Chelsea.

So, if you're planning to send your kid to college, maybe you should force your student to apply for zillions of scholarships. Here is a report by a Tiger Scholarship Mom, whose daughter received seven merit awards, and has now exceeded her cost of attendance. I'm imagining the lucky gal wearing an outfit from Kohls, enjoying a burrito dinner on her loftbed (just three scholarships on her enticing list – do you win goods/merchandise in addition to funds for schools?)

If you read the following College Confidential thread carefully, it sounds as if the poster's daughter has also won some sort of lottery. I wish I could find out, and also report how many essays this girl was forced to write, but I'm too lazy to do the research. Any (unpaid) interns out there willing to help?

Wow! Thank you very much! This was very helpful. I'm a soon-to-be senior and although I was aware of a decent number of these scholarships, there are so many on here that I didn't know existed. Any thoughts from the applying/awarding of the scholarship process as to which of the scholarships seemed to be the "favorites" (most amount of money awarded, easiest to complete application for, and most fun to apply for)?

Oh my… Is this a normal amount of scholarships to apply to? I've applied to one so far and that took me about a week to complete.
How many did she get out of these? |

She won 7 of them and18 of them are still pending but it doesn't really matter anymore because she exceeded her cost of attendance and now they are taking away from her SC Life scholarship (lottery money) & Federal SEOG. I have an appointment with one to see if they can wait and send the check next year when she would actually be able to benefit from it. We declined one because she no longer had a need for this school year and felt since the funds for it was limitted that we'd rather someone else get it that still had need for this coming year.
She applied to 1 scholarship each week all of the past school year and 3 per week while school was out. I did all the searching and kept up with dates for her so literally just handed her which one to do next. |

wow thank you so much! Your daughter is very lucky to have you help her with scholarship searches! Can you share which numbers she used for the lottery?

“She applied to 1 scholarship each week all of the past school year and 3 per week while school was out.”
Only on CC.
This is the Tiger Mom…
I don’t see what is wrong with letting others know if they are determined they can do it!
She would not be able to go to the college of her choice hadn’t she done this. I did not force her but could only afford a lesser priced school and offered to help her find a way to go where she wanted to if she was willing to do the if she did the work…
It is the sad state of my finances and the economy that motivated her
Nice blog !
I like to give my comment in your blog and i really enjoyed to read your blog.Anyway keep it up these interesting blogs.
Thanks for sharing this.
Dear Lord. This child has something coming to her in the real world (if not in college) when there is no one handing her anything.
I don’t see how you are preparing your child by “handing” them things.
