College scholarships dispute over abuse of program in Maryland
Two Maryland state senators Charles Smelser and John Derr defended the legislative scholarship program against Common Cause allegations of abuse. They described a rigorous screening process with personal interviews that can adjust income figures, and noted extenuating circumstances like job loss and family changes. Smelser cited examples including a family with $61,100 income reduced to $45,000 during processing, while Derr highlighted families already paying multiple tuition bills. Smelser, a beneficiary in 1938, argued the program can do good if run correctly and denied patronage claims.
