Hell, if they're wanting to give away free tuition for Eagle Scouts and Gold Award winners, don't forget the winners of an even more difficult award to earn: Civil Air Patrol's Gen. Carl A. Spaatz Award. Less than 1600 cadets have earned it and the three-diamond rank of cadet colonel since the award was instituted in the 1960s. Shortsighted politicians... (sigh)
BTW, I'm not one of the hallowed 1500 or so Spaatz award recipients as a former CAP cadet - highest rank I got was cadet major, earning the Amelia Earhart award (whose certificate I still have to this day).
