NPR Ed : NPR: Raised in foster care from the time he was 14, Marquell Moorer was determined to go to college, keeping up his grades and working part-time at Dairy Queen to save up money for it.
By the end of his senior year at a high school in Milwaukee, Wis., he'd done so well that letters of acceptance started pouring in from not one or two, but 12 colleges and universities.
Moorer was still riding high when another wave of letters started to arrive: the ones outlining how much financial aid he would or would not be offered by each school.
And those proved a lot less clear-cut.
