I understand the honor of being called the Valedictorian, but I don’t understand why she’s worried about getting the scholarship from the State of Texas. With that GPA, and having completed high school in three years, there are likely several private colleges that would be willing to offer her a nice scholarship.
I, too, doubt she is worried about the scholarship funds. I would think that a family with this type of work ethic is more concerned about the honor and fairness of the situation.
