Colleges in ths area are looking for students who will major in high math/science especially girls. My daughter went to a meeting of business owners. The speaker said most college students in masters or doctor degree programs are from out of the country. Kids today want the easiest degree possible no matter if there are no jobs for them. Then, they wonder why they can not find a job. Before she took a job with her late father, she had been offered a full scholarship in math/science. She has learned more from having to take over after his death. The company was recently awarded top exporter in the state. It has been hard but she worked her butt off to get to this point plus she has great employees. All of us still think her dad is helping them.
I hear you. Mine received 75% from the University and the rest Academic Scholarships she competed for for 4 years from the State. Hard work!
Your doubts are unfounded. There are some schools in the country that haven't been infected yet. My daughter is currently finishing up her second year on a full-tuition academic scholarship. Here is a link to a site where they are tracked.
