Gabriella Montez:

College: Stanford University
Major: Pre-Med
Extracurriculars: College Musicals¿what else?
Financial Aid: Full Academic Scholarship
Part Time Job: No

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her life is basically perfect. Her grades not only got her in to Stanford, but earned her a full ride. On top of that, she got additional cash for books and spending dough through a scholarship she found on FastWeb.com. And, as if her things for Gabriella weren¿t peachy enough, she tried out for (and got) the lead in the theater department¿s fall musical. Whatever!

Financial Aid: Partial basketball scholarship, Minority Scholarship, Works
Part Time Job: Lava Springs Country Club

While Chad¿s past attitude toward his BFF Troy¿s love of singing, may have earned him the title ¿hater¿, he is still trying to be a ¿baller.¿ He gave up his B-ball scholarship at the University of Albuquerque in order to kick it with his boys at home. Fortunately, he made the switch in time to make the basketball team at Berkeley and even get a partial sports scholarship. But he¿s not THAT much of a baller¿he still works part time at the Country Club to make ends meet.

It is no surprise that Taylor McKessie was accepted Early Admission to Johns Hopkins University.  Her talents as the Captain of the East High Scholastic Decathlon Team set her apart from most other applicants with perfect GPAs and test scores.

Not surprisingly, Taylor won the Intel Science Talent Search, a full-tuition scholarship that she found on FastWeb.  And in an effort that made her parents really proud, she won another scholarship on FastWeb to cover the cost of her room, board, and textbooks. 

Extracurriculars: Captain of Scholarship Decathlon, Theatre
