Bragging about Matt
Hi All! Matt posted a little something about himself a few days ago, and in it he mentioned he had auditioned for entry to the very highly-esteemed music school, Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachussettes. Well, he FINALLY got word last Friday that he has been accepted! Hurray!
And not only that, on Monday night he received ANOTHER message that not only had he been accepted, but that he had been offered a $7000 scholarship based on his guitar-playing abilities! And the scholarship renews every year, so it's not just $7000, it's actually $28,000!! That's amazing!
Of course, Berklee is a very high-cost private school, so we've got a long way to go to see if he will be able to come up with enough financial aid to cover him, but either way, just being accepted to this school is quite an honor - getting a scholarship based on your skills is even MORE of an honor.
Congrats to Matt! And wish him luck on getting this last-miunte financial aid settled!!

Congratulations Matt! Will you decide to accept this offer or stay local? So now I know where Berklee is Massachussettes! How do you feel about the move away to college and being on the East coast? It sounds like a great opportunity for you. Your family is all so gifted musically. You should be so proud of yourself and the gift the God has given you. During the time of Grandpa's illness and death, Sean expressed how gifted you are. If the college wants you they will make the funds available as it seems that they are already doing. It is all Gods plan. I am proud of you - Your aunt Yvonne
congrats for sure, Matt! not that anyone doubted your 1337 guitar skillz.
Matthew,
I am so very proud of you. I just knew that you will have your dream come true. Thank you for making me such a proud parent. You are so special in so many ways. Call me. Love Mom
