Try your local. Some locals have scholarships and also try the joint council.

We had 2 Casey winners in my bldg. It is a fantastic scholarship. Have to apply by middle of junior year and have to have taken either the ACT or SAT. Whichever one it was, my daughter's adviser said, "You don't have to take that test, unless you are applying at an Ivy league school." That was the test score she needed. By the time we found out, the next scheduled test was 2 weeks after the application deadline.
Bums me out too. My daughter's resume was as strong as the 2 winners from my center. I am fairly certain she would have received one.
As it turns out, she went into physics, where there are not many women and there is lots of money for women pursuing a physics degree. She paid all her student debt after her 1st year of grad school and her grad school salary has her sitting in pretty good shape.

It's the PSAT aka NMSQT they want them to take to qualify in the Junior year.

Pretty impressive to have your kid win this. I had 2 valedictorians that never got a sniff of it.
You must be a good man and one hell of a father.

I wouldn't say that but thanks. They take after their mother.
You were obviously instrumental. Major props for taking such care of your kids.

My son won the Casey scholarship and received $6000 a year towards his education. The school he attended was need blind. This basically means if you get accepted, you will be able to attend regardless of ability to pay. The full tuition was over $50,000 a year and was scaled down based on ability to pay. The rich kids paid full price, but the son of a Ups driver only had to pay $27,000 a year. Unfortunately, since we received a reduced tuition the scholarship made no difference in the amount we had to pay. The school received the Casey money, but we were still required to pay the $27,000 a year. It still was a great honor that he won the scholarship.
