She said my advice was correct: High school accomplishments are no longer relevant after students have entered college. My co-worker specifically said college students should focus on "here's what I did this year" when applying for new or renewal scholarships; and that a new / current photo is expected when one is requested. My daughter's new "press photo" has been taken, and her packet is in the mail to the scholarship committee.
