What's the REAL way to win a scholarship?

Question

Okay, let me try again. MERIT scholarships ONLY (ie, no fafsa or "get a grant" please!). What is the KEY to winning a scholarship? How do you make yourself stand out so much that they choose you? Does anyone have any friends who won scholarships? What did they do?

Answer 1

Sleep with whoever is giving it away.

Answer 2

sexual favors. thats how the rich and famous got to where they are now.

Answer 3

super good grades along with extra-curricular activities.

preferably at least one sport, at least one organized activity

(scouting is good, but there are others too), and some sort

of volunteering.

they like to look at the whole person, so it is not a good idea

to concentrate on any one thing to the exclusion of others.
