Good of you to reinvigorate this thread!
My closest connection to the Charter Schools came last spring. A group to which I belong decided to provide a High School Senior with a modest $1,000 scholarship. The various strings we attached still resulted in 8 applicants.
The session at which we selected our recipient went on for several hours as each applicant was so well qualified! The selection committee was astonished!
At the school's award ceremonies, we were further amazed at the quality of all the guys and gals who were awarded scholarship money. I was personally blown away by the students and their abilities!
We'll be selecting another recipient before too long. I look forward to being amazed yet again!
