Pell Grants for low-income students

MSNBC--

Starting July 1, something more will be added: up to $750 extra for those who complete a "rigorous" high-school curriculum; up to $1,300 for second-year Pell students who earn a 3.0 average, and up to $4,000 for juniors and seniors, if they major in math, science, technology, engineering or certain foreign languages and keep their 3.0. The Feds are scrambling to write the program's rules. No one knows how many students will qualify.

Bruce - check out Tuesday's Reg. Guard. Colleges afraid of law suits are releasing scholarships normally held for minorities to make them available for all. Don't give up hope, yet!
