Yawn... Yea and im the duke of Earl. Everybody is an expert on everything on the internet with specialized training in every field. As i already noted there are some exceptions, ive seen small scholorahips awarded to kids in middle school for art or music and the like (500 bucks or so) and im sure there are plenty of other minor oportunities for younger kids but the simple reality is that "academic" scholorahips arnt granted until you graduate from highschool, at whatever age that is for you. If you dont graduate with grades sifficent for the school you applied to the scholorships are pulled no matter what a student thinks they were granted. I do agree though that research amd applying for all those smaller scholorahips and grants can pay off as they add up...
as for jackson i agree with billys earlier assesment: it didnt actually say he was granted anything. He presented it as his perseption: get a scholorship and go to university or not. Its telling that he felt the only way to go was to have someone else pay for it instead of working part time.....
