SOOO..I'm a senior in hs now and I just started filling out the application for the Gates Milennium Scholarship..Anyways I just wanted to know if anyone here had applied for or received the scholarship..Any advice for me..plz and thank you..And are any other seniors thinkin about applying???and on a very unrelated side note...I jus learned to start a thread..and im soo hype(the reason for the colorfulness)...yea me!!!
I thought about it..
but I don't necessarily fall into the "financial needs" category.
and then i saw all those "short answers" on the application...and the referral this and recommendation that... so i decided against it.
But i did apply for the Ron Brown scholarship
^^^Wow r u serious...i was gonna apply to that, but I was lookin at sum of the people who got it before and ive come to the conclusion that you gotta be a refugee, an invalid or have the cure to **** or sumthin in ya back pocket...dnt think i fit any ofthose soooo GMS is lookin kinda good now
I'm tryin to tell ya'll! Apply!! I didn't think I'd get a certain internship when I applied for it. I got it and was the only black person and only one from an HBCU that received it. Call me "token" if you want, but it paid for my books and more my senior year!
Well I'm none of the things that you listed.
But I am pretty awesome if I must say so myself. Yeah. I have heard that Ron Brown is the most prestigious of African American Scholarships.
But Like i said earlier... GMS ain't for me. Now I may be old and gray one day and say i shoulda coulda woulda...but I'll take my chances.

LOL!! Have you seen that beast of an application...
It's bad enough I had to write essays, and personal statements, and all this crap for college apps...now you say apply for something else!

I "shoulda coulda woulda" fight you for not applying.
I saw it a couple years ago when my younger brother tried for it. (He didn't get it)You think you're the only one that thinks it's a hard application?! Everyone applies to the "no essay"/"no thought" scholarships which makes it harder for you to get, you REALLY have to stand out. Only the dedicated ones will apply and receive the GMS.If the app is online, I'll take another look at it tomorrow.
