Is a 2.75 GPA good enough to keep a scholarship?

masquerading or being promoted as educational funding sources. Bad message and bad consequences if the voters turn against such gambling. Next, I have to think that anything that appears to be "free" doesn't get the personal respect of the recipient as much as something that's earned. Scholarship money is for special purpose and reason. It needs to come with restrictions and expectations. I have to think that, at state level, fair administration of scholarship money is a challenge otherwise I could suggest a tiered program based on performance....that a student had to front the money but could be reimbursed with scholarship money if requirements were met. Of course some can't front much money anyway.

So, it sounds like a dilemma to be reckoned with. Perhaps there's too much money in the system and too few who qualify for it. Being that it's gambling money, there's less reason to feel pressure from the taxpayers. Still, lowering standards doesn't seem like a good message. No answers from me, I guess.

line of thought - if it is difficult make it easier for the poor kiddies.

It appears that far too many representatives were themselves "dumbed down" and fail to understand the meaning of SCHOLAR.

Why don't you write to some of them Angeline and suggest that rather than lowering the standards they retain them and simply make it clear that scholarship recipients that maintain their GPA will find their scholarship supplemented by monies from scholarships lost by those who fail to maintain?
