Exactly the rub then, isn't it? I got the token half off 200% markup while I watched my graduating HS class get nearly free rides. I had similar grades, but was mostly straight A (but in harder honors classes) and was white and male.

I'm living it trying to get finaid for my kids private school. But, let's not blame immigrants for a broken system. If anything they aren't to blame because they didn't vote for it.

All of the women in my class with my GPA got more money than I did, and all of the minorities (as few as they were) did as well. Two instances stand out to me: Someone 1/64th or less Native American getting scholarships for that, and a girl who just by accident ran into (literally) the rowing coach and was offered a scholarship on the spot.
