<p>^^ Disagree BillyMc. FL Bright Futures is funded by the FL Lottery. The vast majority of lotto tickets are sold to people of a low socioeconomic class. Thus the profits made off of immorally ripping off people who can’t afford it (and whose kids probably won’t go to college, or at least not make the requirements for the scholarships) go to typically white, middle-upper class people who never buy lotto tickets so that they can send their kids to college, and the cycle repeats. Lots of people are calling it a “reverse Robin-hood effect”</p>
