I just got home from school and found an envelope from Felician College... And I was accepted and they are awarding me a $50,000 scholarship.

I mean.. my god I didn't think anyone would accept me. Yay!

Oh it's not the school. I don't even know where it is and truly had no desire to attend. It was the fact that SOMEONE wanted me and is offering me that much to attend... I feel special.

Congrats but what college is that I've never heard of them? They must be in the same league as the Jersey Turnpike U.

actually I and others are making fun of the school, but if you are working on a undergrad it really does not matter what school or subject. Most companies and government only care about the Masters

I just won a $200 gift certificate towards books next semester. Guess selling those books back for 1/10th what I paid to Efollet finally paid off.

Thank you so much. This just made my Friday better (Even better than going to see LOTR in 15 minutes!)

Don't make the mistake of going to a school because it's a free ride. I've been regretting it for the last 3 semesters.

Congratulatiuons Leloo.

The mother of a friend of mine used to be a dean there. Yes, its a smaller catholic college, but its totally ok and paid tuition is always a beautiful thing!

A wonderful christmas present to be able to give your parents at the least if they will be paying most of your school expenses.

Oh yea, and do your parents a favor if they have to pay for your education, take the biggest scholarship available. At the end of the day the degree on your wall, it won't matter where you went to school, only what you did while you were there. I have 2 kids in college and one on the way, its expensive and depleting our savings as we speak. Always being self employeed we didn't plan for college educations as well as we should have. My daughter is graduating this year but is going on for her doctorate. By the time she finishes my youngest daughter will be entering college. We wouldn't have survived without the scholarships, be active in seeking them out.

Well I did luck out that my grandpa set up a college account that has around $27,000 in it and my grandma on the other side set up another one but I did the math and the money together would not be enough for college. So this scholarship is amazing
