    When I went to college one of the forms I filled out applied me to a whole bunch of scholarships. Some I very much wasn’t qualified for. I assume they had a better high school counselor than I did and did something similar. Your last point is generally how non means tested scholarships work.

      When I did the dance, my counselor had enough scholarships and grants to pay my ride… Second month of classes my financials went tits up and for my field trip to the offices we found out the two big ones had an overlap issue and please sign here for student loans. Fuck the system.
