In summary, there is a program called "Who's who among american high school students" that sends out nomination letters to students, but it is not a prestigious honor and may just be a ploy to sell an expensive book. There is also no evidence of a $6000 scholarship mentioned in the letter. It is not worth pursuing and has been deemed a ripoff by others. Additionally, the program may feature high school students from Georgia who are considering skipping college to join the NBA.

"Who's who among american hs students"

hey.. received a letter in the mail today stating that I have been nominated for the "Who's who among american high school students" ( www.whoswho-high school.com[/URL] ) .. A google search indicated that being nominated for this is not a big deal and is not something great which you could write in your college application.. Can anyone confirm this?

thanks
