[QUOTE="Lue C Fur, post: 735860, member: 25159"] Is America great or what!!! A public community college in California has set up a scholarship fund for immigrant students — [COLOR=blue]including illegal immigrants.[/COLOR] The $2,500 scholarship has sparked anger by some, including at least one lawmaker who is threatening to cut off federal funding to the school. Orange County's Santa Ana College says the controversial new memorial scholarship will be funded by private donations and honors former student Tan Ngoc Tran, a student leader and immigrant-rights activist who transferred to Brown University before she was killed by a drunk driver on May 15. [COLOR=black]Students eligible for the new scholarship must have a 3.0 or higher grade point average, demonstrate a financial need and must also be trying to become an American citizen. Those eligible include students holding green cards, students who have permanent residency[/COLOR][COLOR=blue] — and illegal, undocumented immigrants.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][URL]http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/28/calif-college-offers-scholarship-to-illegals/[/URL][/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
