(NNPA)—Dear Gwen-
dolyn:
For the past four years
my daughter has been
the top scorer of her
high school basketball
team. I just learned the
scholarship that was
supposed to be awarded
to her has been given to
another girl whose
scores do not come close
to my daughter’s.
My husband was laid
off from his job two
years ago and my salary
is less than $30,000 per
5
year. Receiving a schol-
arship for basketball is
the only way our daugh-
ter can attend college. It
is so unfair. What can
we do?—Gloria

Dear Gloria:
You are wrong in your
thinking. Scholarship
awards (like job promo-
tions) can get downright
ugly. That’s why it is im-
portant to strive to
achieve a high grade
point average (GPA).
Seek financial assistance
in the form of a grant or
a student loan. Many po-
tential athletes (and
even the professional
players) are injured and
within minutes their ca-
reer is ended. It is wise
