Michigan State University awarded my thirteen-year-old eighth-grader a $2,000 scholarship yesterday.
It's called a "pre-college" scholarship, and can be used to offset the costs of tuition as she pursues a bachelor's degree at MSU, pending acceptance into MSU, of course.
Some of you may remember me blogging about the 4-H Natural Resources camp that DD1 attended this past summer. Up to 5% of attendees were nominated by the camp counselors to apply for this scholarship.
Attendees of other 4-H summer programs can also be nominated, programs like a 4-H veterinary camp, a 4-H renewable energy camp, and participants in the annual 4-H Washington D.C. trip. There are also non-4-H MSU youth program attendees that are nominated.
Nominees have to be in 8th, 9th, or 10th grade when they are nominated, and need a recommendation letter from a teacher that teaches one of the core subjects. A total of 60 students receive the scholarship each year.
DD1 filled out the application in October, and found out yesterday that she was one of the 60 awardees!

Wonderful! My older daughter has received scholarships and grants to defray 50% of her high school tuition at a parochial school, and my younger daughter has received scholarships for 65%. Brilliant for DD!
