★Listen to a conversation between two students at registration
W: Here we are at registration again; I can’t believe how much tuition has gone up.
M: I know. It’s ridiculous. You know my cousin Anne pays nothing to go her school in Kentucky.
W: Nothing! Maybe I should transfer there.
M: You can’t, only students from certain part of Kentucky can go. It’s only for students from the Appalachian Mountains area.
W: So with no tuition how do they run the school?
M: Well, they get a lot of donations.
W: And that pays for everything?
M: Well, they also get some money from the government and besides that all the students are required to work at the college. That’s why the college doesn’t need to hire a lot of outside-workers.
W: Oh yeah, that will help cut the school expenses, so what kind of job do they do?
M: My cousin helps to clean the dorms. I think her roommate washes dishes in the cafeteria. Things like that.
W: That sounds great! Come to think of it. I heard of something in Georgia called hope scholarship.
M: Hope scholarship? What’s that?
W: I think they used state lottery money to give free tuition. But not everyone from Georgia qualifies. You need at least B average in high school.
M: I should apply for that. I had really good grades in high school.
W: No, you had to be from Georgia.
M: Just my luck
