President Trump surprised a fourth-grade student with an "opportunity scholarship" during his third State of the Union address Tuesday night, while calling on Congress to pass the "Education Freedom Scholarships and Opportunity Act" that would give 1 million children the freedom to attend a school of their choice. The surprise came for one of the president's guests at his State of the Union. I can proudly announce tonight that an opportunity scholarship has become available. TRUMP SNUBS PELOSI AT STATE OF THE UNION, DOESN'T SHAKE HER HANDThe scholarships, according to the White House, would help families pay for expenses such as tuition, dual enrollment, out-of-district transportation, tutoring and apprenticeships. “President Trump has made it a priority of his administration to promote high-quality education opportunities for all students,” the White House said in a statement.
