As if applications, auditions and applying for scholarships were not stressful enough on their own, this man’s then-girlfriend deleted the emailed scholarship offer to his dream school in 2014. He just sued and won.

LOL! You can’t make this stuff up!
I saw this. It’s absolutely horrifying! I’m glad it all ended well. I hope he hounds that woman for payment for the rest of her life.
Yowza! And I thought MY college boyfriend was a creep.
Wow, I am shocked.
A good reminder to keep all my passwords to myself.
I saw that!!! At least he was able to eventually study with that teacher, and found her out and got a judgement against her. I wasn’t clear if he’d really ever see the money, though.
I was particularly interested because I just sold my beloved professional quality clarinet last week, and last night the new owner sent me an amazing recording of it in their first performance. 
Can’t squeeze blood out of turnip…
BTW…H’s Mom threw away his acceptance to Harvard. H learned about it years later.
@mom2collegekids more details, please!
H’s sister spilled the beans about 15 years ago. We were shocked.
The acceptance letter came in the mail and MIL didn’t want him to go so far away, so she threw it away. At the time, H just figured that he wasn’t accepted and didn’t think to contact the school. H ended up instate ar Purdue, Which is what his mom wanted. H did confront his mom, and she just laughed it off by saying, “I didn’t want you so far away.”
Canadian students Eric Abramovitz and Jennifer Lee had been in a relationship for about six months when she found an email on his computer that could have taken Abramovitz far away: An acceptance letter to the Coburn Conservatory of Music in Los Angeles with a full scholarship.
Lee declined the offer without Abramovitz’s knowledge, deleted the email and crafted a deception designed to make him believe he had been rejected from his dream program, where he hoped to advance his career as a clarinetist.
An orchestra parent’s BIL had lived with a gal and he broke up their relationship. She stole his very expensive string instrument. He didn’t pursue getting it back.
@mom2collegekids did that damage your H’s relationship with his mom? Did your H forgive her?
And I thought my MIL was a piece of work …
^^
You would think it would have, but in H’s Family his mom was revered as some sort of saint and being mad at her just was not something they ever did…seriously.
