This article on changes to Michigan\'s Merit Scholarship Program quotes a Wayne State student. ...Nedra Nicole Glover doesn\'t see it that way. \"I think a lot of scholarships favor upper income students,\" said Glover, a 21-year-old Wayne State senior from Detroit. Glover didn\'t score high enough on the MEAP to get a Merit Scholarship, but she is graduating from Wayne State in four years with a double-major. Granholm\'s proposed program would have given her $4,000 after her sophomore year, money she could have used to help repay student loans. \"A lot of my friends who got Merit Scholarships stopped and had to start working after two years (of college),\" Glover said. The proposed plan \"will encourage more to stay in school.\" But Glover is unhappy that the plan does more for the rich than the poor. \"A lot of poor kids don\'t qualify for the Merits now (by not scoring high enough on the MEAPs),\" Glover said. \"And now they\'re taking money away from them.\"
