We were pleased to find out that our son just received a $1000 one-year scholarship called Now-A-Terp. They didn’t really say why, just to help with educational expenses. This is on top of a Presidential Scholarship. We really appreciate it as he is out-of-state and has to go a pretty long way to get there!
Anyway, I’m just posting this to say we are thrilled with his choosing Maryland, they have really been great to my son, very welcoming and made him feel like it’s the place for him. He already picked UMD, to send him a little extra money just because- well, that’s pretty nice. We are really looking forward to orientation next week!
