I have many words for things like this but honestly, it is as bad as granting blonde hair blue eyed people like they did in the 80's and 90's, and even still I think they still give out free grants for black people with blue eyes. It isn't fair.

I forgot about these special grants. Anything that is based on appearance like this isn't fair. It isn't like we choose to be short. The only thing I can see granting for height is a model but I don't think there is legit modeling college anywhere.

I honestly don't like college or how the system works in general. You pay so much money and there are these bs grants all over the states that allow free or fixed budget grants to people who did nothing to deserve it.

That is what it reminded me of and no it isn't fair at all. It just teaches kids that they HAVE to look a certain way to be considered special or beautiful.

I saw one a few years ago that was accepting in people who flunked out of high school.. The only thing they had to do was pass their GED and they get 2 years of free college classes!

We had that over here too man! I was so pissed. I finished highschool and struggled to pay for my first two years in college. I could have dropped out at 15, started working, got my GED at 19 and not only had money, but got free college courses too!
