Scholarship pre-reqs

I'm not sure what I think about this. On the one hand, scholarships have requirements. On the other, these seem to skew/restrict the eligibility quite a bit.

Students will qualify if they:

  • Have an advanced or honors high school diploma, as offered in at least 19 states.
  • Completed the courses of the State Scholars Initiative, a congressionally backed program. It requires students to take four years of English, three years of math, three years of lab science, three and a half years of social studies, and two years of a language other than English. Fourteen states have the program now, and eight more are starting soon.
  • Finished a set of courses similar to the State Scholars curriculum.
  • Taken at least two Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses and passed the tests in both subjects.
