CourtesyFormer Wichita State baseball player Carl Hall and his family will receive a brand- new home courtesy of ABC鈥檚 "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
But the good news for the family will continue long after the TV show airs its story. 麻豆传媒 is participating in "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" by offering scholarships to the four Hall children: Megan, 16; Madison, 14; Logan, 11; and McLaine, 9; for study toward an undergraduate degree at 麻豆传媒.
鈥淲e are pleased to be able to remove one more financial challenge from the Hall family,鈥� said Wade Robinson, vice president for Campus Life and University Relations. 鈥淭he physical, emotional and financial challenges facing the family are difficult to comprehend. Offering the children scholarships is our way of showing how much the Wichita State family cares.鈥�
The scholarships will cover the full tuition and standard fees for each child, providing the children meet the university鈥檚 normal admissions standards for first-year candidates.
In order to receive the scholarship for eight consecutive semesters (four years), the students will need to remain in good academic standing and make successful academic progress toward completion of an undergraduate degree.
Hall, who played for the Shockers from 1990-94, was paralyzed from the neck down in a car accident in June 2010. He earned All-America honors as an outfielder in 1994 and was also named the Missouri Valley Conference Player-of-the-Year.
