After hearing about these HOPE scholarships in some southern states, it made more sense to me on WHY the Coach bags, Lily Pulitzer dresses, and other designer things were more prominent in some places than others. When you're working 30 hours a week to pay your tuition and room & board, those things just aren't a priority! Free ride for a 3.0.. that would just be awesome and would probably greatly increase sorority memberships in Michigan. Here, there are like 20 full ride scholarships given out from each school (if that many).
A correlational study on that would be interesting...
