I have so many questions 👀 Did they do a "random" raffle? Who chose the bursary winner? Who announced the winner? What was the congregation's reaction? And did the parents say that the Lord works in mysterious ways afterwards? 💭 Questions, questions!

Funny because that word is used a lot here in the UK, whilst varsity seems to rarely be used over here 🇬🇧 A bursary is pretty much a non-repayable grant to cover your costs, a bit like a scholarship, so I guess they're covering all of their son's varsity costs 🏦 Usually bursaries are awarded based on (low) household income though, so this seems like a rather convenient tax write-off 👀 I bet the dad was smiling like RFS:
