COLLEGE EDUCATION ON THE AUCTION BLOCK



A COLLEGE EDUCATION ON THE AUCTION BLOCK
A free service called eCollegebid.org is letting students and their parents
bid on college tuition fees at participating institutions. The bidders
indicate how much they're willing to pay, what they want to study, what part
of the country they want to go to, and so forth. If a college chooses to
accept a bid, its identity is revealed to the bidder, who may at that time
decide not to attend that institution. The service is targeted mainly at
schools with leftover seats at the end of the admissions cycle. (AP/San Jose
