Indiana University alumnus pledges $1 million to put these kindergartners through college
NEW YORK (February 13, 2016) — Two mothers ran to hug and thank a stranger at Rio Vista Elementary School in Anaheim last week. Few words were spoken, given a language barrier, but there were tears of joy.
The stranger, Marty Burbank, will be paying for their kindergartners to go to college.
Burbank is pledging to fund each student’s tuition for two years at community college and two years at a California state school — or the equivalent if they want to attend elsewhere. All they have to do is draw a picture or write an essay each year about what going to college will mean for them and their families.

Probably a simple smiley-face each year will suffice.
It’s a kind thought, but making the requirement so utterly simple and unchallenging will likely produce negative results.
