36,000 Dollar Scholarship!!!!

Submitted by forcefedup on Fri, 27/11/2009 - 6:20am
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!

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.

I've got about 1000 a semester scholarship, and that's only from what they automatically give you for having a certain ACT score. Everything I apply for is 'Need Based' and evidently they don't think I need anything :K

Seriously, what about the people who trade their social lives and study like da bomb. And the need-based thing is like... so so low here. You gotta live in a box to qualify for that! p.s. congrats!
