Like Free Money? Evidently High Schoolers Don’t.

[MonTexan]

I am currently the chairman of a non-profit organization in the oil and gas industry. All funds generated through the organization go toward scholarships for kids pursuing engineering-related degrees and grants for science/math teachers.

My deadline for scholarship applications was up this week and I was utterly amazed *disappointed* at the number of applications that were submitted. We are offering FREE money to these kids and they won’t even take the initiative to fill out a two page application?? Amazing.

I’ll bet if the parents knew these funds were available I would have gotten a MUCH better response … these kids obviously think “mom and dad will take care of it†or “I’ll just take out some student loans.â€

Or maybe they’re just not interested in college because they plan to hit the lottery in the next couple years. Who knows?
