<p>My son was very happy to receive this award today! We are oos and the extra money will certainly help!</p>
<p>Hey great news, LK – congrats to your son! I remember he was looking at several schools in the Midwest for engineering. Has he decided to attend Iowa? (I attended Illinois (engineering) and my daughter is now at Iowa, I think they are both great choices)</p>
<p>Congratulations, LK - all the best to you and your son. That’s huge.</p>
<p>Thank you! Son is still waiting to see what other scholarship opportunities come his way but he really liked Iowa. The only thing holding him back is the fact that Iowa doesn’t have the engineering reputation like Purdue, Illinois, Rose-Hulman…he is also considering Marquette. We really did like the people we met at Iowa and I think he would do well there.</p>
<p>By all means let us know how Marquette’s offer stacks up. I was really disappointed with what they offered my son, although he was Old Gold either. My own theory is that MU’s aid is lame unless you’re uber-smart.</p>
