[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Data shows that kids with community college degrees don’t get to 4 year degree and never make as much money.

Also, sort of opposite of PP, I want all kids to have the opportunity to spend four years somewhere, have teams to root for, and put down roots in a community they are proud of.  There has to be a way at least some state schools could do this.  It is not about bells and whistles but pride of place.

There are very cheap 4 year schools in most states. I would like smart poor students to have better options than Virginia State [/quote]

Most of the Southern states that DCUM loves to mock do much better at this. Georgia, Florida and Alabama, just to name a few, have state programs that provide free tuition to the state flagships to kids with high gpas/test scores. I have a relative attending Georgia Tech for the cost of room and board. It’s not just a few scholarships — it’s every kid that qualifies. In Georgia, every kid with a gpa over 3.5 qualifies for a partial scholarship. It’s a good system — keep the smartest kids in state, charge moderately high tuition (non of these schools are super expensive to begin with) to in-state students who don’t qualify but are willing to pay, and charge much higher tuition to OOS kids who can’t get into their own flagships.
