About Me
Matthew
Bullington was homeschooled throughout his
primary and secondary education. After graduation he was
admitted to Middle Tennessee State University with a
scholarship package that exceeded full tuition. He graduated
with a degree in economics in 2006 Summa Cum Laude with Honors
Distinction.
Matthew Bullington is the
son of Dr. Kimball and Mrs. Dinah Bullington, and is the oldest
of six children. He was homeschooled through his
high-school graduation, after which he attended Middle
Tennessee State University on more than full scholarship.
In 2006 Matthew was awarded the “President’s Award” by the
university, the highest honor given to a student at MTSU.
Matthew graduated Summa Cum Laude with Honors Distinction in
December of 2006 with a degree in Economics.
Matthew’s
knowledge of the college application process comes from
personal experience, as well as the experiences of two of his
siblings who are both fully funded in their studies at the
University of Memphis and Vanderbilt University. His
father, Dr. Kimball Bullington, is a professor of Management
and Marketing at MTSU and has been advising incoming students
for over 10 years. While attending school, Matthew
advised numerous incoming students on the application process,
gave tours and talks to visiting students and incoming
freshman, and was singularly requested by the university on
multiple occasions to be the host and tour-guide for
prospective homeschool students. Matthew also was a
university employee for three years as a tutor for Disable
Student Services and the Athletic Department, and was the
academic mentor for the men’s basketball team in
2006.
Matthew
currently resides in Murfreesboro TN and operates MEB
Enterprises, of which Homeschool College Prep is a subsidiary
business. He can be reached by e-mail at
