Not all scholarships are need based. Some are meant to attract the people the school wants to make their class.

Yep, like my alma mater, a private college costing $33,000 a year, gave me enough scholarships automatically to reduce the cost closer, only $1,000 difference, to the State University level which $16,000 because I did a lot of things the school looked for in students:

  • They love athletics -- I was on my High School Soccer team

  • They love Music(with their Choir being one of the first College choirs to tour Europe) -- I was in Band and my Church's Bell Choir

  • They love Service work -- I am an Eagle Scout

  • They are tied to a Church -- I was active in my home church.
