Our read on this award
3 figures we worked out, not the sponsor's. Free, and it takes an email address.
How these are worked out
- Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
- How narrow the field is. Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
- Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
- None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
