Very true and well said. I truly believe scholarship money means that parents can brag to their friends. The money factor is usually insignificant.
Very good point. I love bragging to my happy hour buddies about the money we'll be getting for text books and all the cool free gear my daughter will be getting. Then I go on and brag about how we are getting all the mileage out of our current cars since we are getting ready to pay out our noses for her education. And I love saying it with a smile. The parents with the younger kids who don't know the facts look at me like I'm full of it.
