Yesterday I attended a scholarship competition at Central Michigan University. To qualify for the scholarship, you had to have a 3.5 GPA in highschool and a 28 on the ACT. Out of 2000 applicants, 42 are chosen for a full-ride scholarship. It's a great program, I wish more students recieved the scholarship, but that's not my point.  Read More »
