Benefactors Gone Wild
Teens and kids in Kalamazoo, Michigan have a big reason to celebrate. They just found out their college education is paid for. I don't know who the benefactors are but I'm sure they're tickled pink to be able to open doors for these young people. Parents of a middle class income bracket often make too much money for their teens to qualify for scholarships but not enough to be able to afford to pay tuition outright. College is becoming more and more important to a student who hopes to make more than minimum wage during their working years, but the cost of college is often out of reach for a lot of families.
A huge tip of the Stetson goes to those who backed this program. Have fun watching your gift grow for many years to come!
