Another article yesterday about 2 students in California who received ‘full ride, 4 year scholarships’ to Yale and Columbia (columbia was Questbridge).

One of the students who won one of the first week Covid $50k scholarships in Colorado (5 given out every week for vaccinated 12-17 year olds) turned it down because he already has his costs covered for Clarkson by scholarships and his grandparents. He probably reacted quickly when they called him (and he’s only 17) because the $50k is actually put into a 529 plan and he could have used the money for grad school or just withdrawn it in the future. Alas, they gave it to someone else already.
