“I think less students would come here, because a lot of students are here because of the lottery. It’s one of the main reasons that students stay in state.” –Mar Gonzalez
“I think fewer students would come because I think the lottery gives a lot of money to students. I know at my high school it was a huge deal if you received the lottery scholarship. The lottery has allowed for a ton of first generation college students.” -Greg Mallory
“I think the lottery scholarship is not a fair system. I jumped into school and wasn’t prepared for college. I didn’t meet the minimum GPA requirement, and they say if you don’t keep a certain GPA your first semester, you will lose it. That seems wrong to me, maybe it should be based on your major such as engineers. They have to spend 300 dollars on one book and some of them don’t get the lottery. How is that right?” -Cedric Smith
