I want to say that TOPS was initially funded by some type of cigarette tax or Lottery tax. It's a great program but qualifications need to be raised.
I went to school with a girl who went to college for 8 years before earning her EE Degree all paid for by grants. She was making $50-60k a year bartending but wasn't claiming it so she qualified for government grants.
Well, 5 years after we graduated she is still bartending and not giving anything back to society because she still isn't claiming enough income to pay taxes.
