Hi, this is Aaron Draplin's mother, Lauren......

I spoke with Aaron a few days ago and will pass on some great news of his:

Minneapolis College of Art and Design has offered him a scholarship and it is quite a nice package:

$36,000 over four years
Plus two opportunity grants
Regular financial aid

This is such a great happening for my talented little boy!! I think they based their decision mainly on his portfolio; Aaron says this is the top scholarship, awarded to only one student a year. He is so very excited.

He also is very busy. Packing and getting ready to drive to Alaska, leaving on Friday, April 24. He wasn't sure he could get in touch with you and asked me to pass on the information....
