美国休士顿的17岁非洲裔学生迈克·布朗申请全美20所最佳大学，结果全获录取，而且获得全额奖学金及26万美元额外奖学金。请看本报昨日的报道：

A 17-year-old senior in Houston has the enviable challenge of deciding which college to attend this fall. He was accepted by 20 top schools, all that he applied to, and all on full-ride scholarships.

Micheal Brown’s list includes Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Georgetown and the University of Michigan.

He hasn’t picked a school yet, but he’ll bring at least US$260,000 in scholarships from various sources outside the college application process, according to The New York Times.

报道中的full-ride scholarship就是“全额奖学金”，即不仅包括学费，还包括食宿等其它费用，也可以说full ride。
