Do you remember that scholarship and job I applied for?
WELL...
I found out today that they chose me!!! I can't even begin to put into words how excited I am!  I've wanted this scholarship since I first heard about it during my freshman year (so nearly two years ago). It was killing me to have to wait until this semester to apply and I was so disappointed when they said there wouldn't be any slots. But they managed to get two for this year and I was their #1 choice!!It's such a big honor for me because so many people applied. (I'm just sad that only one other person can get it because I know a lot of the other applicants.) So now I get tuition completely paid for, which means I get all of my grants and other scholarship money as a check rather than it going for tuition...and on top of that I get $2500 each semester for living expenses. This turns out to be a HUGE amount of money (about $8000 in cash each semester and no tuition to pay). AND I have a guaranteed job when I graduate that pays pretty well. (It's 35k for an undergrad, but I will have my grad degree so I'm not sure what my starting pay will be.) That's pretty good for this area and for my field (social workers don't make much, lol). Anyway, I just wanted to share my exciting news with you guys!
