He said "I was in the middle of Walmart when i opened it. I was blown away, i couldn't comprehend or understand how i won this." And then it turned into heartbreak for the Newaygo teen as it turns out he didn't actually win and it was a mistake.. Actually, 58 mistakes as 58 students got this same message in error where they were congratulated on the award. The school has since apologized and offered them a differnt but less valuable scholarship It said they deeply regret the disappointment and frustration on this error caused by their online portal For him it was a whole emotional roller coaster as he would be the first in his family to go to university as his parents CAN'T afford to pay for i tout of pocket and a full ride would have been worth 100,000 He said "This would help me tremendously. I called my mom right awya..she was so happy for me..and you know, all the work i'd done ot push myself to get that" But when he went to confirm the details and claim the prize he oculdn't access it and thought it was just websit troubles until the next morning he got another text and phone call from the school's executive director of admissions explaining what had happened as 57 other disappointed students were given the news He was crushed and sobbed as he broke the news to his family and friends..he said his mom was very angry and dad was confused on how a college can mess up like that The school however is offering to top off his maroon and gold entry scholarship to a full tuition scholarship giving him an extra 3000 a year for a total of 12,000 annually in scholarship money. He wants to thank the media coverage for bringing this to light as Parker wants to do pre-med and become a cardiologist so he will take what he can get it and feels good about a large sum of his schooling is still paid for Do you think he should have bargained for more or just accept this? https://i.imgur.com/EnmaLfR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1liH7v9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/y5jzfn3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vLIx2PW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kG88Hxa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/reI6Re8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/0W7WHIY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GS7H6By.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mWlBpxr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/N9diJr0.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

For what it's worth, I also assumed it was a physical acceptance package and am only now realizing the phrasing suggests an email. I feel your pain, fellow dinosaur. The_Viscount posted... Which I'm guessing is fucking nothing. I mean, if a full ride was valued at ~$100k, $12k/year over four years is 48% of that. That still leaves a lot to cover, obviously, but it's nothing to sneeze at. --- This is my signature.
