Many states, including Indiana, currently offer full-ride or otherwise decreased-tuition scholarships to local high school students with high grade-point averages or other merits. These merit-based scholarships generally only apply to state colleges and universities and are intended to keep the brightest students in state schools. Often, the income of applicants isn’t considered. Because these scholarship programs are based on merit alone, many of the recipients don’t need the money. In New Jersey, for example, recipients of the state-run Student Tuition Assistance Reward Scholarship averaged yearly family incomes that fell only about $3,000 below the statewide median income.

But the supposedly “straight” world of sports is a little more flamboyant than we often admit. From “tight ends” to the “long ball” to “pitchers” and “catchers,” it’s easy to queer sports.
Ah, Facebook. You used to have so much integrity. Back in the day, you helped me network only with my friends at elite and major state universities and your main gimmick was that people could identify potential new friends based on their tastes in music, movies and books. And now you have sold your soul to materialism. It’s no wonder that your new ad campaign, in which you put users’ third-party purchases in their News Feeds unless they actively change their settings, has incurred the wrath of users who don’t want to automatically be made pawns to capitalism.
