Young people can earn their way the first two years, and then get help. If they stick to the first two years, then by all means, let them earn a scholarship for their grades, community activities, etc. Too many Oklahoman's are being outsourced, divorced, losing homes, etc. and as they are the bread winners, the ones who pay the bills and usually are more interested in getting an education as opposed to just getting a degree, I say HELP THEM/US OUT. Rarely have I observed a student under 25 who was serious about doing their homework, required reading, required research, and in creating an assignment of any degree of difficulty. Sorry, that is just my personal opinion. Most of the adults in my age range 35-50 are serious about learning and getting their money's worth of education, not just a piece of paper with the word degree on it. Help adults out too. The kids are young enough to work hard AND go to school. I do it, why can't they?
