We should have suspected that Peterson's was making a buck on the deal somehow.

 

I made the mistake of signing up for scholarship opportunities. I get several notices a week and all have UoP or some of the same ilk involved. Heck of a marketing ploy. I haven't seen a real opportunity among them but you never know.

 

I would bet even money that they "winner" of the scholarship will be a UoP student.

 

What? $5000 smarter?

I guess "for profit" education really has brought about different ways of looking at things.
