I haven't been paying much attention to the mail over the last two weeks with everyone taking turns being sick and I have boxes and envelopes and bags piled all over my desk.
Luckily, Bill checked the mail today. He got lots of good news in two huge envelopes.
He was admitted to the engineering school at Western Michigan University. They have offered him a scholarship at a rate of $4000/year, which would cover about 2/3 of his tuition, and invited him to come to campus in late January to compete for a scholarship for $10,000/year, which would nearly cover all of his school costs (tuition. room, and board) for his undergraduate degree. He would have to come up with pizza money...
AND
He was admitted to Ball State University. They admitted him to their Honors College, offered to waive the freshman composition requirement because he scored so well on his college boards (ACT), and offered him a presidential scholarship for half off his tuition for four years! That will save him thousands of dollars.
So kiddo will have some very big -- and very happy and good -- decisions to make this spring.
I am so proud of him. He wants to study both architecture and civil engineering, and design buildings and other structures that can better withstand natural disasters. He would like to combine architecture, engineering, and the new high tech nano stuff into making life and the world better.
No one could ever ask for a finer son than Bill.
