This is another item I'm passing along for those that might be interested. It's never too early to get started on these things. I am a former national scholarship winner. My advice is to keep trying if you haven't been successful in the past. The year I won my national scholarship was the second year I applied. Unfortunately, I didn't know I had HPS then and was horribly ill at the conference. I'm sure no one knew how ill I was as I was trying to cover it up and compete. I nearly passed out on several occassions and was so tired because I was GI bleeding and getting very anemic.
Most state affiliates also have scholarship programs, and usually the application form is the same. Apply at both the state and the national level. Good luck!!!!
