Do you think he should have bargained for more take what he can get?


18 y/o Parker Christensen couldn't believe his eyes when he got a message from Central Michigan University was offering him a FULL RIDE including tuition, room and board after applying to the prestigious scholarship knowing how extremely competitive it was..

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?
