[Counselors] Another question for you re: college scholarships

[Nelson, Lisa]

The counselors pick whoever they want however they want.

The scholarships given at a counselors' luncheon are at the discretion of the counselor. Some schools have a committee that decides who gets them, and others just allow the counselor to make the choice. At my school, our counselor(s) had that choice, and I gave it to the students who were attending that school (obviously) and did not have any other scholarships because sometimes you have those students who are great, hard-working students, and yet they fall into the "donut hole" in education funding. Depending on the school, the counselor either contacts the college with a name, or the student has to have the certificate that is given at the lunch.

The Counselor decides.

When the counselors go to these luncheons they are given a certificate.  They in turn give these certificates to the student of their choice.  The student then takes this to the college business office when they are paying their fees and "cash" it in toward tuition.  It is a voucher toward tuition that the counselor has been given.

Question:
Does anyone out there have a list of the colleges that give out scholarships at their Counselor Luncheon's/Workshops?  I was trying to put together a master list of the counselor luncheon's dates, so I can be better prepared for next year.  I hate to miss the ones that give out a free scholarship.  I know some do and some don't.  If any of you guys would share, that would be AWESOME!
