“She’s on a full tuition scholarship!”

Academic?

My oldest daughter got a full academic scholarship from Alabama. She graduated with honors and is now off my payroll and making her way in the world. Should be making in the 6 figure range by 26. Not too shabby.

An interesting thing about Alabama. The state offeres several Crimson Tide license plates. The money the university make from this ($15m/yr IIRC) is used to fund the sholarship program. They want smart kids and a 32 on your ACT will get you in.

She got a 35 on her ACT. Wanted a stereotypical college exprience and then grad school.

She’s double majoring in Communications Disorders and psychology with a minor in theater. She’ll get a masters in Speech Pathology.

Duke was a top choice before she visited it. She was so turned off by the whole game of getting into a top private school that she stopped looking at them.

She was also able to afford a wonderful study abroad to Oxford this past summer.

She’s loved Bama, and we do too.

My husband is ready to move to the area.
