[QUOTE="pickup, post: 735890"] Here's the problem i have with this. This is a PUBLIC Community college (I didn't download the link because it would suck up my bandwidth). As such, the tuition is not the true cost of the school due to the fact that the school is subsidized by funds generated by taxes. So if an illegal wins the $2,500 scholarship (assuming that this is a full scholarship)and the true, real, cost of attendance is 3,000, the illegal just got subsidized to the tune of 500 dollars at the expense of the taxpayers. Also, I understand that many public schools are getting hammered by admissions requests due to kids not able to afford the private schools anymore. As a result, many community colleges for the first time are putting a limit on admissions. So if this is the case for this school, an illegal can bump a citizen from this school. Finally, I do get your argument, upstate. So I will play along. What if I decided I wanted to fully fund a scholarship and the recipient must be a child molester, currently practicing? Everyone would say, "how could you give this scholarship to a person who is practicing an illegal act?" I would say that same question applies to this case of the scholarship going to someone who illegally entered this country. Furthermore, this scholarship encourages the illegal immigrant to continue staying in the country illegally. Personally, I don't give a rat's whisker one way or another. I am mad that I typed this much already , when I could have cleaned up this paperwork disaster I've got brewing five feet away. :sick: [/QUOTE]
