This reminds me of a story from USC (Southern Cal) from years ago. They got a popular talk show to bring a student on the show under the guise of talking about college admission. When the segment started, out came the USC band and the Dean of Admission, who presented the student’s full scholarship.

It makes me giddy thinking about doing something like this. We all fantasize about being there for the moment a student opens their offer letter, but to be there when a student finds out they’re going to school for free…it would be awesome.

The few times college bound students on that home improvement show with the guy from Trading Spaces were given the full scholarships, I cried. :)
