Since its inception, the Texas Grant program has spent about $2 billion on 310,000 students.
|
Averages about $6451.62 Each.
Half of the grant recipients fail to graduate.

The program is now based mostly on financial need. High school students must graduate from the state's college prep curriculum and not have a felony or drug conviction, but academic achievement is otherwise not a factor.
|
So, what comprises the state's college prep curriculum ?
Quote:

"My fear is the people who get Texas Grants will be less diverse,"

What does that really mean?
How likely is a C average high school student to graduate from college? What is the current racial mix of those receiving grants?
