Bye Bye Merit Aid, Hello Debt!

Where I am, the offer to buy a car if the student selects the instate option (and especially if they get the scholarship) is done, and implemented, more often than I wish to think about. I really find it distasteful.

Yes, I know a family with 3 in-state students and a corresponding fleet of German luxury cars. But it works for them.
