And the Winner Is...

Durham University in England. I just got off of the phone with Ben...he just finished meeting with Prof. Barclay at Durham. As they were making introductions another professor came up to congratulate Ben. Barclay told the guy that he hadn't quite broken the news to Ben yet...Ben has been awarded the Doctoral Fellowship Grant. He is one of 14 students that are receiving the grant out of 300 applicants. So, for each year Ben will be awarded his school fees of 9.000 pounds (~$15, 750) and an annual stipend of 12.000 pounds (~$21,000)!!! He is soooo excited and this makes his dream of studying in England become a much easier reality. :)
