Since I'm posting the names and addresses of each student awarded this lucrative opportunity by his or her State Rep. and Senator, here's a short list of what you can look for when viewing these lists:

  • Is this lawmaker repeatedly awarding tuition waivers to one household or street address?
  • Are lawmakers even awarding students who live in his or her legislative district?
  • Is this lawmaker awarding campaign contributors, or family members of campaign contributors?
  • Award relatives of other lawmakers and/or elected officials?
