First college acceptances!

Fiona has been accepted to St. Catherine University and Augsburg. She's got a Regent's scholarship from Augsburg right off the bat ($10,000, renewable for four years if all goes well), and she's putting the finishing touches on another scholarship application to Augsburg (has to be postmarked tonight) to ask for more, for a different one. And we know she's eligible for yet another one to Augsburg because of the elementary school she attended. And this is before we've even finished filling out the FAFSA.

So yes. Augsburg was our safety school. And they've come through for us. It looks like we'll get substantial help from them.

Whew!

Waiting to hear from eight other schools.
