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.
