<p>The very purpose of Hope, Bright Futures, and the like are to encourage those students who are likely to leave the state but are beneficial to the state uni systems, to stay in state. Low income kids are less likely to leave the state so they are not the target for these grants. Kids who from low income families have PELL and subsidized Staffords. If they are very good students they might even be able to go away to school between the state and federal education programs.</p>
