Like, Idra was an above average student with an interest in physics, so he was offered financial aid in case he decided to do that.

I kinda suspect that when you say the word "scholarship" people think of it as an invitation to an elite institution to become a superhero or something. :o http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/news/7342Artosis:
You are currently a senior in High School, and are planning on going to Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute next year on a scholarship. eSTRO seems to want to have a player over there within the next month or so. If chosen, how will you deal with school? Will your parents be supportive of your choice?
IdrA:
Well that mostly depends on the timing and nature of the eSTRO deal. If they intend to give me a legit shot at becoming a progamer, giving me enough time to settle in and really practice, then i will try to set back enrolling in college a year and give progaming a shot. However if they just want me for a publicity stunt I wont interrupt school for it, I might just go over the summer or something. I think my parents will be supportive as long as I can work out an acceptable arrangement with my school. on a scholarship idra has commented multiple times on his future plans and stuff in interviews, not going to find them, and mentioned he has/had a scholarship Lots of schools offer scholarships for the first year in order to entice people to enroll. Once you enroll, you're very likely to stay enrolled and keep giving money to the school. In the past, it's supposed to be a really prestigious thing but NOWADAYS, it doesn't mean that much. It doesn't mean that Idra isn't smart or doesn't deserve it, because he obviously is smart. But you really can't say that it's something that's unique only to Idra.
i dunno if it has anythign to do with what your saying but ill just quote myself [QUOTE]On April 16 2012 07:59 Rulker wrote: [QUOTE]On April 16 2012 07:53 Grumbels wrote: Was that meant as evidence for my thoughts or did you disagree somehow? *eyes*[/QUOTE] either way, he won the ESTRO tourny while getting a scholarship to [quote]Rensselaer has been proclaimed to be 'the next' Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was named as a 'New Ivy' by Newsweek and Kaplan.
