What scholarship of the college infromation over the world.
If you want scholarships of any value, you better be good at doing whatever the schedule is for math and science, and memorizing those tests and acing them. That's really all that matters, and that's the only way you'll get some molla when young, that, and maybe becoming a football athelete. So if you have any chance of the remotest brain power in those two areas (math and science), I suggest you spend your time trying to get a scholarship there and not with chess. However, if you are hopeless at math and science, and are a 130lb weakling who cannot play football, like I was, stick with chess.

Mateulose: Negativity will keep you down. The only way to succeed is to believe in yourself. You didn't receive any scholarships? Did you actually try looking/applying for them, or did you just expect some "Godmother" to come down and hand you a check? The only people that get scholarships are the people that apply for them.
WestWood: good luck in your endeavors...
