School wrongly gave scholarships to 58 students. Now it's making it right.

A university's new student messaging system resulted in a costly clerical error after staff members were testing out the technology. 

Over the weekend, Central Michigan University mistakenly notified 58 applicants that the school had awarded them full rides and would cover their tuition and room and board plus provide an additional stipend. The same high school senior were also told that they had been admitted to the school's honors program.

It was a mistake. On Sunday, the students were informed that they hadn't won scholarships, after all.
