It isn't just about grades, especially for merit scholarships. Make sure your son is involved in school activities (not just sports) as well as community service, volunteering, etc. It really makes a difference when filling out applications. Also, go to the library or Barnes and Nobles and look at the scholarship books. There is money out there for everything you can think of, based on nationality, religion, hobbies, etc. For the cost of a stamp, who knows, you just might get $500 or $1000
