<p>Congrats on the full tuition scholarship! My daughter got the trustees and a USD scholarship totalling 20,000.00. (Which is still not enough) How did you get full tuition? I didn’t know they gave those!</p>

12

<p>umm I’m pretty sure their full tuition scholarships are saved only for poor minority students.</p>

13

<p>I think they gave him a full tuition scholarship because of his amazing grades. Because they are trying to pursuade him to come to their school to help raise thier average stats/prestige. IMO at least</p>
