Far too many! Those who are ill-informed or fall victim to relying on word of mouth for financing education. The government is there for support for the under-priveleged or anyone else who can help “diversify” public institutions. Many middle class american familes get the shaft as well. Moderate to sufficient parental income often disqualifies people from receiving scholarships…no matter how well the essay was written, or qualifying the markings were. Also, people who didn’t get the best grades, aren’t good test takers, who have languauge barriers-are often too easily swept under the rug to be forgotten about. More often, it takes public relations to bring issues like tuition, scholarships, and aid to the surface for people to start an interest in the topic-unless they are already directly involved.
In my opinion, I think that this issue has different approach in looking at which groups are to be left out. Those students who did not get the access to information regarding scholarships is a disadvantage and qualifications. In addition, some students cannot afford the high cost of tuition and will led them to drop out of school and be uneducated person. For those who take advantage in researching for scholarships and other opportunities will be more successful than those who did not take the chance.
