The increased use of arbitrary screening barriers has excluded some of the nation's top students from qualifying for scholarships and educational grants. For example, returning students who have not been in school for ten years are often excluded from the largest scholarship programs. Low-income students who graduate with honors have proven their merit for scholarships they have been denied. A post-graduation loan forgiveness program will address this gap in financial aid policy, hand in hand with the creation of an intelligent, searchable database that will enable students to identify scholarship programs they are most likely to qualify for.
