Pegasus Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 DD had a generous departmental scholarship last year. We understood when it was awarded that it was for a single year. She applied again the next year for departmental scholarships but never heard anything and assumed that they decided to "spread the wealth" and award different students. We paid her account balance due a week ago for fall semester and she just today was notified that she was again awarded the departmental scholarship and is now expecting a generous refund! The delay was due to a change in how the scholarships are administered within the department and somebody dropped the ball. As her younger sister also started college this year, this news will REALLY help us out. I had stashed away some AOTC refund that helped defray this semester's costs but wouldn't have that extra to help cover next semester. There would be much dancing around the house except that both college students have already picked up a virus and are feeling poorly. Argh! 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thank you, everyone! Both DDs started feeling better from the first virus and now the younger one is much worse. I suspect a second bug is on the loose. The scholarship hit DD's student portal so now she is just waiting on them to process the refund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
