His grades were above average, but not near enough to the top to merit an academic scholarship.His grades were above average, but not near enough to the top to merit an academic scholarship. There had been a short handwritten letter from the dean of the college, Jack Maroe, describing this scholarship as a "special" incentive for "students who show promise." Mitchell still wasn't sure what that meant. Mr. Maroe had written that he would be interested in meeting Mitchell after he had gotten settled into the college routine. Mitchell thought that maybe the scholarship would be explained further then. The college's enrollment stayed at around fifteen hundred people with very strict enrollment requirements, so Mitchell was honored that he'd gotten in. |
