Well I will. Cause it's what mom's are suppose to do. (right?)
DS#1 received a 4 yr full in-state tuition scholarship to U of L yesterday! renewable for 8 semesters for his bachelors degree or 11 semesters if he choses to get his bachelors degree and master's degree from the Speed School of Engineering. (Computer Engineering) Its worth from 37k -50k (if he does 4 yr or 5.5 yr programs)
plus he gets 2k per year in state lottery money if he goes to a state school. The down side is, dorming and food cost about 9k per year.
If he went to UC he could commute, but they only offered 3,500 per year for 4 years.
The cost will be about the same - so the decision will be up to him. Just so
thrilled he has choices and so glad someone from "outside" has recognized his effort and work. He goes to school with some exceptionally gifted kids - he scored a 33 on the act and has 4.29 gpa - and is only ranked 30th in his class of 135. He gets overlooked because many of his classmates are bigger than life and he's very (very) quiet.
The look on his face yesterday was priceless. truly priceless. Unfortunately I had a mommy fail moment and while I tried to video the moment, I failed to hit the button the second time to actually record. lol
For those of you with young kids - please note the cost of a state school approx 9k per year and another 9k for room and board. If you can talk the grandparents into making cash gifts to savings accounts instead of spending $100 on a stupid toy, show them this post! lol
You must be so proud!!
That's how we roll around here.
