June 30 deadline for (nearly) all-expenses paid college scholarships

The College Bound Scholarship promises today's 8th grade low-income students that if they keep up the good grades, stay out of trouble, and get accepted into college the state will pick up the tab for tuition, fees and $500 for textbooks.

The deadline is June 30. Check here for more information on who qualifies and the super-easy online application.

The Legislature created this program in 2007 and the first group of students to benefit will be heading to college in 2012.
