[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband sits on the board of a scholarship committee. They offer a few four year full scholarships and my husband is certain he'd be one of the winners. All he had to do was complete application and an overnight at UMD, to show commitment. The application was turned in two months ago, the overnight was 10 days ago.

We called the entire week before and were ignored. The student program directors told my husband they called, emailed, texted my grandson. He did not show. At Thanksgiving they acted aloof about the entire thing.

This morning our grandson is on facebook discussing various less selective in-state public and private colleges which they can't afford. They make good money but the family has zero savings. Were we not clear that this was a full ride scholarship? I am at a loss.[/quote]

How do you know he will be accepted to UMD?  Perhaps he is looking at less selective state schools because that is where he has the best chance of acceptance. [/quote]
