Governor reverses decision to pull scholarships
Gov. Martin O'Malley read my colleagues' story in the paper yesterday about the state taking away scholarships for 350 high school seniors this week and decided to reverse the decision. The Maryland Distinguished Scholars program aims to keep the highest achieving students in state by offering them a $3,000 a year incentive in the form of a scholarship. Students received word in the mail that the scholarships were being revoked just days after the May 1 deadline for students to commit to a college.

It was nice how he blamed it on the Higher Ed Commission. Once again, O'Malley takes no responsibility for what HE did. Didn't he know what was in his budget???

Too late - my kid has decided to go out of state because she could get more money from a state school in PA than a state school in MD. I am so happy to pay taxes so the illegals can go to school here for a good price. My own has to go out of state. Hellooooo!! Anyone there in Annapolis?
