99% on a placement exam and was awarded a scholarship to high school!

Willy2 - a favorite young person of mine and a contributor to this forum - is the winner of the scholarship. I am so pleased and consider myself so lucky to know this young man!

Just about the time you think the younger generation will never amount to a thing, someone like Willy comes along and proves you wrong!

Kudos, Willy!

Mookie! [:X]

This is, of course, a reflection on the fine company he keeps here on the forums.

Way to go!

Willy2 is a young poster here on the forums. Since we live in the same state, I got to meet with Willy and his dad one weekend.

A delightful young man and he loves to watch trains. And looks like he is getting ready to make his mark on the world - in a positive way!

My kind of people!

He didn't say for sure but I assume the scholarship was from his future high school. Just like university scholarships.

Sorry still do not understand. Since where I have lived you do not need a "scholarship" to get into high school. Do you mean it is a high school like for engineering only or for the sciences only or for artists only? Are you saying where you are no scholarship means no high school? [?]

You just had to announce it to the entire forum didn't you![:I]
The scholarship was awarded by my future high school which is Gross Catholic High School. Gross is technically in Bellevue, Nebraska, but is very near to Omaha.

Spbed: Just about anyone who scores decently on their placement exam can get into many of Omaha's high schools, but scholarships worth $500 to $1500 are awarded to those who score really well on their placement exams.

I am also happy to announce that 8 out of 40 8th graders at Holy Cross Catholic School (which is where I currently go to school ) won scholarships to many of Omaha's best high schools.
