Gates Millenium Scholarship


If we want to talk about the scholarship of ALL scholarships...This is it.


The Gates Millennium Scholars (GMS) Program selects 1,000 talented students each year to receive a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any college or university of their choice. We are talking full ride, and many times if you decide to continue your studies (masters, phd etc) in a service field (ie. teaching, social work) They pay for that too!!

But the GMS does not just select students that have high GPA's. They select students that are "well rounded." Extracurriculars and Volunteer/Service time is HUGE for this scholarship. It is what sets you apart.
