[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS bf got a full ride to an HYPSM from a local businessman, who happened to be an alum of the school. BF met with him for the alum interview during application process. The biz guy followed up after admissions announcement and BF told him he was going to Michigan as parents could not afford the HYPSM tuition. A day later his parents got a call with the offer. This was nearly 40 years ago.

So, not exactly what OP is seeking, but he did win a (one-time) full-ride scholarship to an elite college.[/quote]

As it is a one-off, this is a gift, not a scholarship per se.  I have tremendous admiration for the businessman who gave it.  Amazing.[/quote]

Right. Meant to put the scholarship in quote marks. Yeah, pretty amazing. Would not necessarily describe my ex BF as charismatic, but loved - and loves ideas - and I think that made a deep, favorable impression on the businessman who made his money through numerous inventions in finish process technology. They clicked and the rest is history.[/quote]
