Carla Stough's parents were mighty proud when they learned she would graduate in the top ten of her high school class in Billsburg, Pa. But because money in the family is very tight (Carla's mother is a cook, and her father is disabled), there seemed no possibility that Carla could go on to a top college after graduation.
