Wow. Why would anybody want to provide strong incentives (100k$) to kids to drop out of college?

My remark was not on a particular person, and I do not look down on dropouts. I meant the politics of this grant and its incentives. This call could have targeted students with finished degrees and there is no reason why it should particularly encourage dropping out of college.
If you believe some small percentage of highly capable young people are locked onto a four-year track when they would otherwise be working on something important that they're already capable of pursuing, there's a niche to be serviced. If you don't believe that, it seems silly.
