Default Re: This is Why Scholarships Are BullSh**

</font><blockquote><font class="small">En réponse à:</font><hr />
I don't want to go on insulting the original poster here. But, far too many students in SC and GA are on scholarship. They don't understand basic math, but yet they are top notch scholarship students?

What would you rather us do with the lottery money? This scholarship is giving people who would be serving fries at McDonalds the chance to get a degree, and hopefully do something better with their lives.

The lottery was set up in GA for this purpose. Not to give it to just the best and the brightest, but to let everyone who has shown to have at least the drive to get through high school with good grades the opportunity to continue their education. No one is getting a Rhode's Scholarship out of this deal, just tuition coverage at a public in-state university.
