private charity... it was done without an increase in taxes. Anyone else have programs like this in your area?
Not that I know of. It's only because you work so close that they're doing it. People will be like "OMG a celebrity" and will pay more the following years.
It is a really nice act of kindness though.
My town averages a graduating class of over 800, so I don't think we'd be able to raise enough money for a program like this. Still, in areas where it can work, it certainly is a nice thing to do.

The entire state of florida pays for 4 years of school if you maintain a GPA in high school of over 3.5 and do 80 community service hours.
