Mother Is a Freshman is a 1949 American technicolor comedy film directed by Lloyd Bacon and starring Loretta Young, Van Johnson and Rudy Vallée.

An attorney by the name of John Heaslip handles the placement of the money, and he sees to it that payment is made every three years.

Since Abby has already spent all her money from the current lump sum, John informs her that she will have to wait "until February" for the next payment.

Desperate to get the money, Abby, whose maiden name was Abigail Fortitude just like her grandma, applies for a scholarship (specifically for women named "Abigail Fortitude") set up by the grandmother, amounting to $3,000 annually.

Richard is quite taken with the beautiful and mature woman, and asks her if he can see her in the evening for "tutoring" in private.

Still, she can't seem to get out of attending the dance and Susan has a young boy her age named Beaumont escort her.
