[quote=davymuncher][quote=forcefedup]I got home from a fundraising dinner I helped host last night, around 12 am (midnight). I found a letter from the University I had previously received a Scholarship offer from, of 17,600 dollars. I just about had a a heart attack when I read the letter, seriously.
"We are pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to receive the President's Scholarship. This award is 9,000 dollars in the 2010/2011 academic year and renewable for 3 additional consecutive years if you maintain a GPA of 3.33."
That's probably no the exact wording, but I just HAD to tell someone! I was jumping up and down around the house until 1 am. We raised around 36,000 at the fundraising dinner, and now I have a 36,000 dollar scholarship![/quote]
Yep, my sister got that scholarship to ASU, and turns out that housing costs more than 9,000 dollars alone and freshmen are required to live on campus! It covered all tuition, but she would have been better off going to a community college and living at home.
Make sure you don't have that problem!

Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.[/quote]
It's to UNBC, and it's only 5,300 to live in residence for 2 semesters, and 4200 for tuition for 2 semesters. I won't have too much of a problem, hopefully. I've also saved 22000 dollars from working (I've been working part-time since 11, and full-time in summer)
