I would like to continue my studies and specifically study Earth and Space Science and secondary Ed. My great, great, great grandfather actually made a huge donation of millions of dollars to build an astronomy building at a California college. This was about 150 years ago. He gave away his entire fortune and nothing to his family. Do you think the college would at least give me a discount or something if I decided to go there? Thanks.

No. Private schools sometimes give an extra look at what they call "legacy" students, but that is generally if one of your parents, not a great, great, grandfather went there. And there is definitely no discount for families of donors - are you kidding? They will probably look to you to be the next big donor!

Probably not, sorry. If anything they might give you a couple thousand dollars, but not an education for free.

That's the kind of thing that I'd think would get you admission but not a scholarship. I don't think they give scholarships for that.
