The John and Abigail Adams Scholarship: Deceitful and Unfair

Make college education affordable for students around the nation.

Why is this important?

I'm currently a senior at the Boston Latin School, the oldest public school in the nation. Many of my fellow classmates, including myself, received the John and Abigail Scholarship which covers tutuition for any public state college in Massachusetts. My parents were so happy for me, until they found out that the scholarship only covers 7.5% of all costs. Tuition is frozen at any state school, but fees are drasitically rising. How are students supposed to get a decent job if they cant afford a decent, quality education? The John and Abigail Scholarship is just one of many of these kinds of scholarships around the United States. We need the current legislature to do something about this- have the scholarship cover fees AND tuition, or just fees, or have the scholarship even cover private schools as well. Please help!
