Brick and Mortar for Free
Giles got his ACT score on Thursday.
We called the university with it on Friday.
On Monday they called back and offered him a scholarship.
Today he had his interview, and after half an hour, signed the acceptance into the university honors program. The program pays all his tuition, his room and board (although he'll be living at home, he can have lunch on campus), and a $1000 stipend for the year.
Fantastic!

What a blessing!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for all of you!
That is fantastic, and such an encouragement to the rest of us homeschool moms! :)
Congratulations! God is good!
How cool is that!?!
Praise God!
I agree with eeeemommy that it is a great encouragement to the rest of us homeschool moms!
That is WONDERFUL! As a fellow homeschooler I felt a sense of pride when I read your news. What a blessing the scholarship is. I hope Giles enjoys college.

What an amazing bit of news! It just shows that hard work from both student and mom/teacher can result in a child doing well. Double blessings, Giles being able to go to college, and no cost to boot. God Bless.
Congratulations to Giles and all of your family!
Congratulations to you all!
How wonderful!
I hope that your son is really ready for university schooling. College is so much more than simply having a great high entrance score. He will be leaving homeschooling and childhood behind early. May all truly be happy.
Glory to God! That is just fantastic news. Congratulations to Giles and to you and your husband.

I know there are many of us interested to know more about your homeschooling life...schedules, books used, philosophy, etc. This would be a wonderful time to share how you manage your busy life and turn out such successful students. Thank you for all your inspiration in many areas.
Wow, that is wonderful!!! Congratulations, guys!!!
WOW!! Congratulations to teacher and student both...and to the whole family!! I have no doubt that those results come from a family atmosphere of support, love for one another, and a love for learning.
I second what Barbara wrote. I'd love to know more about your approach to homeschooling.
An added blessing--learning for free! Congratulations to both of you!
Congratulations Giles! What a blessing after all the hard work. How proud you must all be! Praise God.
How wonderful! Congratulations on being such an effective and diligent homeschooling mom. Pass on congrats to Giles for a job very well done!
Very, very impressive. And inspirational. What will his major be? Photography?
Also wondering .... I know that your children do a lot of independent work, but what curriculum do you follow?
