Re: Scholarship Offers
Financial strain is different for everyone. If you’re financially strained paying for the travel with the bandits (I say travel because the dues are comparable) then you’d be financially strained paying for college as well. Personally we put it as a budget item just like we do groceries, 529 etc and build up funds in the off season. Estimating what I spent and the value of dds scholarship I’m guessing I came out about 60k ahead probably 40 if you consider the interest I would have earned during that same time period. I can’t put a value on the memories or the intangible things she’s gained from playing ball and traveling the country that she may or may not have developed. Time will tell if we’ve made the right choices but signing her NLI yesterday to a school that’s been part of her heart for a very long time felt pretty good.
