Don, I have to admit I was being a bit tongue -in-cheek with my last post, but I just wanted to make the comment that someone is paying the bill. Maybe not the student, but someone is. Here in Georgia, the Hope Grant pays full tuition and even a book allowance for students who keep a 3.0 grade point average. It pays for any state school, and plays an equal amount to private schools as long as they are in the state of Georgia. It is a wonderful program and allows many people who could otherwise not attend college to go with a minimum of cash outlay. It is paid for by the proceeds of the Georgia Lottery, in my opinion a good use of the funds.
