Package
Hi
A girl wanted to take part in a certain program at university and go abroad and study there.
She went to the office at university and the lady there told her: "We've agreed to accept you to the program, and I was told to give you this package from the Financial AID Department". The girl says: I opened it up. It was a full scholarship for the year. I wanted to scream for joy.
--- What does this "package" mean here? A group of documents? She said: "I opened it up". Is it possible that these "documents" were in some envelope/box?
Thanks
