| Anyone else annoyed at the fact that your kid doesn't qualify for financial aid and because of this, he or she is shut out of scholarships from your local high school? S in the top 5 of his class academically while playing two varsity sports at the All-Conference level, has taken 8 AP classes, held leadership positions, Captain of two varsity sport teams, beat out 98% of kids nationwide on his ACT, yet he doesn't qualify for scholarships offered by the local public school. If you're gay, poor, or an "under-represented" student, the school has a scholarship for you. Thank goodness his college has offered him a scholarship based on merit. But, it sure would be nice if all of his hard work would be recognized by his local public high school. |
