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!!
