Funny the things you fools latch onto and parade around with.
I am almost certain that none of you have pursued the scholarship application process. I was out of highschool 3 years before I applied to college, there are very very few scholarships, if any at all, that will apply to someone like that. Big money scholarships given out to highschool kids involve either sports, or kids who have excelled academically far above the national average, and have already begun the admissions process for a university while "still in" highschool.
Once you get into a university, the scholarship process is completely different. Its now competition. On the Oprano continuum of intelligence I am nearly a God, but that is not saying much. At a major university, I lack the credentials to compete with the uber students involved with student government, recommendations from senators and congressman, etc etc. At a school of 20k students, less than 1% are going to pay for school "entirely" with scholarships. And those that do, will either be going into the NFL or NBA, or becoming Rhodes Scholars.
I received grants. Anyone can get grants, but nobody gets them to the tune of 15k a semester to cover tuition.
I love arguing how school works with people who have never attended.
