I know the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is flawed, but under no circumstances should it become an entirely need-based program. What Kyle Robisch fails to realize is that basically all of the scholarships available for Florida students are need-based. I worked extremely hard in high school, and it paid off in the form of an extremely high SAT score, a 4.3 GPA, passing five out of six AP exams and becoming a sports captain. However, when it came to scholarships, I received a measly $500 after applying for about 20. The vast majority of scholarships have a need-based component. I don't see how my parent's salary has anything to do with how much I achieved in high school. If we make everything need-based, it will discourage students from doing well in school and push them to attend schools that are less scholastically renowned.
I had a friend who was really into returning lost things to their owners. One of my more resonant memories of this is the time she found a teddy bear on the sidewalk.

The Sept. 15 edition of the Alligator incorrectly stated that 70 volunteers served 120 homeless people food in honor of Ramadan at the Bo Diddley Community Plaza on Sept. 11. Twenty volunteers served food, and 70 homeless people attended.
I would like to defend Kyle Robisch and his column last week regarding Bright Futures scholarships. It seems Sarah Maloney is nitpicking the literal meanings of his words. Anyone deserving a need-based scholarship is required to have a certain GPA and SAT score. That is supposed to be the point of a scholarship - to give an incentive to be a well-educated student. What's the point in receiving a scholarship to attend the university because I can't afford it if I fail every single class I take? So cheers to you, Kyle, for making this point.
