How do you know it wasn't to spread awareness of scholarships? Frankly I believe that if you are aware of scholarships, need a scholarship, and don't bother applying, you don't deserve one anyway.

And for every email sent, there are tons of people you've affected who don't think to say thank you. So, thanks for kicking my own butt, Ramit. Thanks for making me open a Roth, track my finances, and seek more knowledge about finances. Thanks for opening my eyes and making me take action. I love this email.

Being a scholarship girl myself (my scholarship win for volunteer work paid for 4 years of university - long shots sometimes happen), I am cheering for you. Apply to anything and everything. It is worth taking the chance. Congrats also Ramit! My motto is that if I can change one life for the better, my own life would be worth it. You have done exactly that. Awesome Kayla!

Go Hawks! Spent the best 4 years of my life in Iowa City as a Marketing major. It really is a great program, both socially as well as academically. I'd highly recommend you get in touch with the Office of Student Financial Aid on campus and take advantage of as many opportunities as you can. Good luck, On Iowa. ~JR Hell yeah Kayla. Go Hawks!
