Winter is definitely here. It's about 12 right now in Fort Worth. Not what we're used to.
This weekend we're finishing the Gates Millennium Scholarship application. I had to call to get some information and ended up asking a few more questions of the guy. This is "the scholarship of all scholarships," he said, and described how it can be renewed for 10 years, through a Ph.D. Wow. And here I was just looking at the undergrad program. The idea is for a kid to go through school without having to work (take time from studies) or take out loans. Thousands apply, I'm not sure how many are chosen. Fingers crossed!
