Are Outside Scholarships worth the time?

Post by ilikebaseball » Fri Jan 02, 2015 2:07 am

I see this Dr.Pepper thing trending on twitter where they're giving away like 5 grand for tuition. I also see Coca Cola, Academy Sports, Target, Walmart, Foot Locker, Nike, Under Armour, and other places give away tons of scholarship money.

I was wondering if it is worth the time, after finishing applications, to apply for these? Has anyone on TLS ever funded a large portion of law school through winning?

I'm mass applying right now, but I don't know if its worth it. I figure that even if I win a couple thousand bucks it helps

Well, make sure you read the fine print. Many of the scholarships are for undergraduate degrees.
