17 Students Reveal The Insane Reasons Why They Passed On Their Scholarship Offers
It's a dream for many college bound students to receive a scholarship. Not only is it an honor, but a financial relief. Getting paid to attend school? Where can we sign up!? For some people, an automatic 'hell yes' wasn't their answer. Here's why some students passed on such an offer.

Everything worked out for the best.
