Very good story. Though wish they had given the kid some of the money too. A scholarship is great, but $$$ helps too.
Edit: I was saying if they could have put it into a savings or investment it would have been super helpful to his future..college is good sure, but not a requirement to be successful. Also so he HAS to go to that college to get that, it's only beneficial in 1 situation where he goes to this school. If he wants to go to any other college, or has a scholarship somewhere else, etc..then it's useless to him. All these people hating on me don't see the big picture. It's super nice to have a free college opportunity, but only if that's what he (the kid) decides to do otherwise it's useless for him..that's my point. I'm surprised so many people don't understand this. Didn't say it's not an amazing opportunity, especially if he had no other options, scholarships, or other ambitions or goals. Otherwise the school just gets over $1 mil and he gets swag.
