The staff at Scholarship America, the nation’s largest scholarship administrator, fielded more phone calls from families this year and noticed a heightened sense of urgency among callers. Berea College, the Kentucky campus that gives every accepted student a full-tuition scholarship, saw a 15% uptick in applications for this fall. And the number of families who filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid jumped almost 21% the first three months of 2009.
