Interesting...wish this was around when I was starting college...might have been helpful.

 

Jim,

This scholarship bill is actually for Florida Residents only, it is not a Federal measure.

The article focuses on the Florida matching grant but it also clearly notes that "President Bush earlier in the week signed another bill that would create a similar program for community college students at a cost of $5 million."

Jim,

Yes, but your Subject line of 'Federal “First Generation Matching Grant” program', combined with your original synopsis of the article, would lead one to believe that this is a Federal rather than Florida measure.

At any rate, I do appreciate your frequent posting of insightful, education related articles on this forum.

Thanks,
Tom
