Today I got a pre-recorded call. Normally I would just hang up as soon as I knew it was pre-recorded, but for some reason I kept listening. Turns out it was a good thing I did!
The call was telling me that I needed to activate my debit card with my university because I had a refund due me. Since I've been waiting to hear about all the scholarships I applied for, I thought maybe that was the "refund" they were talking about. I hadn't received a card though ... so after a bit of research, I found a number to call.
Two phone calls later, I found out that I have one scholarship of $75, with possibly more later! $75 isn't a lot, but it is almost a month's grocery's or gas. They're sending me a replacement card, which should be here by Monday. It took me about 20 minutes to apply for the 8 scholarships - so even if all I get is $75, that still is pretty high value hourly work.
Woo hoo! A scholarship!

Boo,
the scholarships I applied for were all either on my schools dept website, or on a website with a bunch of general scholarships for students at my school. I'd check with your daughters preferred school and see what they have, and then check at the library for books on scholarships ( I can't remember the name of the one I found, but it had thousands of possible scholarships across every discipline/field I coulld imagine).
