Just thought it was interesting to see an actual number put out on what a scholarship is worth. ~$500,000 over 4 years.

But also interesting to note that this doesn’t equate to compensation.

Hypothetically, if my employer pays me $130k as an engineer, it typically costs them nearly $200k to employ me. Then plan another $100k in travel and discretionary spending to do the job...

That’s the cost but not the value or worth to me.
