Parents are giving me a four-year scholarship. Grades drop below 3.0, I'm cut off. Takes five years to complete my degree? They're still only paying for four.
I'm incredibly thankful for it, since I know I wouldn't do nearly as well if I had to be weighing sleep/studying against working full time..
..and I know when they're old that I can justify spending at least $16,000 on them without feeling bad.. they did for me, after all.
