In the third education initiative announced this week by a candidate for governor, Democrat Douglas M. Duncan proposed a $100 million higher education plan yesterday that would offer $5,000 scholarships to public high school students who graduate in the top 10 percent of their class and go on to attend public colleges in Maryland.
To expand access to the state's need-based scholarship programs, Duncan's proposal also would raise the income eligibility limit to $39,000 for a family of four.
