From the article:

"According to a recent report from the Boston Globe despite a $500,000 in Bitcoin giveaway cash and credit cards still ruled the roost on campus. The article seemed awfully bias towards downsizing the benefits of cryptocurrency education."
Who pays for this? Half a million dollars is a lot of money to give away.

$150 per person. In any currency, that is nice for students.
Although that is not from the reliable site, i will giving my appreciate. but i don't believe if that is a real things, because $500000 it's a much amount and that's will not effective caused by the student is just wanna for joining the educational caused by money.
it could be possible, however that's lot of money if they're giving that amount only for one person, it will be effective if they're just giving 15 dollars or maybe 5 dollars for a student, anyway this actually good step to introducing bitcoin to the mass, especially for the student, since they more interested on some new technology.
