"1997 RICHLAND TWO GRADUATES EARNED $168,756,900 IN SCHOLARSHIPS!"
Did they "earn" them or were they offered them?
I suspect that number of $168¾ million is the total that was offered. What is the purpose of that number?
This number works out to an average of $84,505 per graduate.
How about reporting the amount of scholarship money that was accepted by the 1997 graduates?
Schools like to publish numbers like these, even if they don't make any sense.
Remember the news about the high school graduate who received total scholarship offers of more than $9,000,000? Dennis Barnes of Louisiana, whose GPA was 4.98, was offered aid from 125 colleges and universities. There is a young man who is serious about education.
But why would someone even apply to 125 colleges and universities?
