Wal-Mart Announces Grants to Help First-Generation College StudentsWal-Mart’s philanthropic arm announced today that it made $67-million in grants to educational programs during 2007, with much of it going to higher education.
The Wal-Mart Foundation, one of the nation’s leading corporate givers, announced a $2.27-million grant to the Council of Independent Colleges to help educate first-generation students.
The gift will provide $100,000 awards to 20 small- and mid-sized independent colleges and universities to increase the enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of first-generation students.
Wal-Mart’s foundation also announced a two-year, $2.5-million grant to the American Association of Community Colleges, and a separate $500,000 commitment to help needy community-college students stay in school.
According to the foundation, it provided some $7.2 million last year to help thousands of students continue their post-secondary education.

How long before Ms. Clinton, former Wal Mart board member, attempts to take credit for this porgram under the category of her “experience”?
I just posted about the NEA’s anti-war and anti-Wal-Mart activities. Once again it is amazing how unable leftists are to look past their orthodoxy. I normally just get irritated, but when they use my dues money to fund their idiocy it becomes personal. Good post.
