[QUOTE="Dorkus, post: 3626739, member: 47598"] If you are talking about scholarships, don't count on it if you are a white male, in good health, middle class and not anything extremely high on the ACT or GPA. Your 'normal' non-minority kid is screwed as for available money. When my youngest was looking for scholarships, we bought the books, went to the websites etc. If he was a female, no parents, from Pakistan, had one leg, was blind or I was in prison, he could have had college paid for easily. But being an average white kid with parents who work hard, decent grades and a 27 ACT, the scholarships are limited. At least that was the case about 7-8 years ago and I doubt it has changed if not even worse. He did get two, one from the ladies at church (you basically had to apply and you got it) and the second from his college for his ACT score. Both were minimal amounts but all of it helped since I as paying the rest. No loans for him as I have stated previously, I am against debt. [/QUOTE]
