Segerstrom High School senior Jonathan Espinoza has done it again – even as he struggles to collect enough donations to pay for his registration fee at Georgetown University, he has landed an interview with NBC reporter Colleen Williams, to talk about Project SELF – “a program that helps low-income minorities in Orange County with internships at legal firms and how it has helped him pursue his future career,” according to NBC News.
Congratulations Jonathan! I have a feeling those donations are going to really start rolling in now!

"You still will be ahead of a student from the so called middle white class who must get student loan for everything you would + 50K per year.
If you are planing to depend on the public donation for the rest of your life, later on via the taxation as a socialist, than you perhaps do not belong to Georgetown and if you smart (having IQ) than you should figure out the way around it.
Otherwise you are burden to the society"

Study: White students more likely to win scholarships

A national report released this week by financial aid guru Mark Kantrowitz finds minority students are less likely to win private scholarships or receive merit-based institutional grants than Caucasian students – a pattern that also holds true in California.
The analysis [PDF], based on 2003-04 and 2007-08 data for hundreds of thousands of students from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study, found that nationally, Caucasian students are 40 percent more likely to win private scholarships than minority students.
Kantrowitz's report did not drill down to individual states, but he provided California Watch with data from the Golden State. The figures show that white students here also receive a disproportionately greater share of private scholarship funding – albeit to a lesser degree than on the national level. Caucasians represent 44 percent of private scholarship recipients in California but only 41 percent of the undergraduate student population. Minority students, by contrast, represent 55 percent of scholarship recipients and 58 percent of undergraduates.
Kantrowitz, who publishes the popular college financial aid websites FinAid and Fastweb and does consulting in computer science, artificial intelligence, and statistical and policy analysis, said he decided to embark on the study because he read a news story that repeated a claim he hears often: White students don't get their fair share of scholarships
"Kantrowitz'....... Hmmmmmm
The name sounds like Esq. Diamond.
Dr. Amalgam, please do not use Wikipedia as your source of facts.
Every moron mongoloid can write anything in Wikipedia.
You were addressing Jonathan I am not in this discussion in any form.
Jonathan has not mentioned anything about being entitled to anything except I believe as we all do a shot at the American Dream.
All your assumptions are the little voices in your head.
You are the mongoloid moron as you can not comprehend what you read. The source is not Wikipedia. Read again or stay ignorant. So.....you qualify to write in Wikipedia I guess.
The study is based on factual data....... financial aid given and the recipients. Those with agendas like you ignore facts because facts contradict propaganda.
"You are the mongoloid moron as you can not comprehend what you read"..... Hmmmmm
It is "moron mongoloid" not "mongoloid moron" big difference!..... Dr. Amalgam
"You were addressing Jonathan I am not in this discussion in any form"..... Hmmmm
Therefore get lost!..... Dr. Amalgam
Last advice to Jonathan, go flip burgers for couple of weeks and earn $900.
I would never beg like you Jonathan, I found it disgusting to see healthy young boy to beg!
Obviously it reflects on your lazy culture.
Yeah, Stankey, or maybe someone will help him oit in the hopes that, someday, he will do the same for another. That's called paying it forward.
Stanley is just a ignorant fool. I only respond to him to expose this.
Yeah, Art, and to twist his kgb knickers in a knot.
"That’s called paying it forward"...... Hmmmmm
I call it investment!
However, there are good investments and bad one. To invest into a future lazy socialist who will for ever rely on others, is bad investment.
Same like investment into people who do not have money for down payment to buy a house.
Eventually the bubble will burst.
So how much you two moron mongoloids have donated?
Amazing! and BEST WISHES!! His story continues to inspire me.
