Re: Financial Need vs. Ability to Use a scholarship
Many of our answers were somewhat general too. Most said they would use scholarships and loans to pay for school, and some included that their parents would help. Our deadline was April 30, 2024, which leads to the same problem that you ran into. Honestly a lot of it can end up depending on how much information the student shares to help reviewers understand their situation, and that ultimately depends on how much effort the student decides to put into the application.
Re: Financial Need vs. Ability to Use a scholarship
We do not ask specifically how much a student owes but we ask a few short answer questions that offer a chance for the student to explain their financial situation including any gaps in funding. One such question below:
Describe how you plan on paying for your college education. Your response may include scholarships, loans, grants, family/parental support (if applicable), working a job, etc. Include any gaps in funding you might have.
