My son applied a while back to go to the summer STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) at the U.S. Naval Academy. He got a text awhile back that his application has been accepted.
The only issue is that it is slated to begin June 1st. That isn't a problem so long as this virus issue has played out by then. Already some of his friends who applied to go as well have had to pull out even before being accepted due mostly to financial issues. Others have not been accepted for whatever reason(s).
He was really hoping to be able to go with at least one person he knows. He has a friend who is from a very low income family. We take him with us a lot when we do things that he wouldn't get to do otherwise. If he gets accepted I'm going to talk to Mrs. Parallel about picking up the cost for him. We were already providing transportation to and from the Academy for the group of six, so it's really only the tuition we're talking about.
Regardless, if this is not canceled, my boy is going and he'll be fine.
