Title: Well TSU Post by: RockinGrannyVol on December 02, 2014, 02:50:35 EST Tennessee State has offered my granddaughter an awesome scholarship to come play softball with them. My son is checking the school out well.....we know it's traditionally black school -- currently about 30% white. But she likes the area and he's checking out other schools too.
Title: Re: Well TSU Post by: murfvol on December 03, 2014, 06:12:36 EST TSU is a great way to go. I do adjunct work with Nashville State's logistics program (on campus when I lived in the mid-state, now on-line), and a lot of our students of all shapes, sizes, and colors go on to TSU. It's a personal thing, but were I a college student, I think I'd prefer Nashville to the 'Boro.
Title: Re: Well TSU Post by: RockinGrannyVol on December 03, 2014, 08:00:36 EST I'm having supper with her tonight -- want to see how she feels. The coach told her she would play year 1 because he's losing both corners the year she comes in -- she plays a great first base! I think they seemed to really like it....John and Jen both read this board, so they can add more if they want. But I think it's awesome and so proud of her! I knew she was good enough to play at the college level....it wasn't all prejudice by her granny! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Title: Re: Well TSU Post by: RockinGrannyVol on December 03, 2014, 08:01:18 EST Oh and the other awesome thing is that they offer in state tuition with a good GPA and ACT score....which she meets with no problem! :)

I know you're proud of her. BG Title: Re: Well TSU Post by: murfvol on December 03, 2014, 10:03:10 EST That sounds like a terrific deal too! As one who paid back a chunk in student loans, I'd recommend a route that includes as much paid-for stuff as possible.
Title: Re: Well TSU Post by: RockinGrannyVol on December 03, 2014, 10:13:45 EST My older brother that lives in Murphysboro said he didn't like the area the school is in.....but I think her Dad has done some research and it's much lesser crime rate than her going to Ga Tech or Ga State in Atlanta. She may get other offers and she may decide to stay home....we'll see. But it's a great deal for her and almost a free education! :)
