John Edwards' scholarship program ending
2008-07-31
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The scholarship program started by former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards that has sent rural high school graduates to college for free is ending after three years, a newspaper reported Thursday. The College for Everyone program at Greene Central High School in eastern North Carolina will end this year, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported.
He may need the money for child support payments instead ...
The pilot program has sent 190 Greene County students to college and cost $600,000 in its first two years. It was started in 2005, the year after Edwards was the Democratic vice presidential candidate.

Before his presidential nomination campaign ended this year, Edwards said he wanted a similar national program, spending $8 billion to send 2 million students to college.
