Hey guys. I have been considering for many years to offer a small yearly scholarship to my previous high school. However, the amount I want to offer is only about $100. So... my question is this.. will I be perceived by both the high school and students as a cheapskate? Some of you are parents of kids and some of you may be university students, so I am wondering your opinions? When I graduated if I got a 100 scholarship I never considered the amount, I just felt lucky that I got 100 bucks. But today, I am not sure how people would think about that. I know I shouldn't care, but I do. And what I am asking them to do is write a 500 word essay on some topic I choose. They need to send me some other info as well like transcripts, stuff like that. What do you guys think?
And what questions do you think I should ask other then writing an essay? I am still wondering if I need to get a lawyer to check it over to make sure I am not asking anything that could be considered illegal... A bit of a headache, but I would like to give something back to some deserving student.
