My daughter just got a $4000 renewable 4 year scholarship

from the school of Engineering.

She is graduating High School one full year early and is carrying a 3.8 GPA (Algebra 2 lowered it)

She went to a competition day where she was assigned a team and they had to solve a problem as a team with pictures, written plans ect...

she got notice of her scholarship today.


Dad and Mom are proud of her!!!

7. Hmm..

my wife just complained that she went to buy yarn for a sweater and it would have come to $200 for the yarn alone. I guess it depends on what you are buying.

16. I think his post was in regards to the current global economic downturn.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. WTF?

Are you replying to someone else? Because your post is just irrational here.

But, if your name ................ well, never mind.

12. Congratulations!

I think the US government should give zero-interest loans, repayable over 15 years after graduation, to American students that will be majoring in mathematics, science, and engineering.

13. WOO HOO!!!!!!!! Congratulations to you & your daughter.

:toast:

[cyndensco]

14. With a GPA of 3.8 and the drive required to graduate high school in 3 years,

your daughter will probably be offered more scholarship monies. Congratulations!

18. I sure hope so cause hubby and I are still paying off our sallie mae

we owe

we owe

to sallie mae

we owe

...

which is stupid because we had pell grants

the loans just made things really easy for us

oh and I had to have a hysterectomy during college

23. my son is a freshman at UVM

just before we applied for FAFSA, I thought to myself "hmmm, maybe I better pay off my student loan!" I graduated college in 1982. I just finished paying SallieMae off last year!!! i deferred a number of times over the life of the loan for one reason or another, no job, babies, etc.

15. Good for her!

I am always happy when I see women going into the math and sciences fields. We need more women engineers. I hope this scholarship makes it easier to finance her college education.

22. congratulations! nt

[TBF]

24. Bravo. But in this economy I'd encourage her to defer for a year if possible

and have fun her senior year. I'd be in no hurry to rush through school for the current job market.

[greenbriar]

25. she hates HS. says the kids are all inmature whiners

and she technically skipped her Jr year


this is her SR year

[TBF]

26. Heh. She is a smart girl :) Well give her our best and tell her grad

school is fun. I had my company paying when I went, but I'm sure those days are over. Hopefully she'll get through with the help of scholarships and teaching stipends.
