cost of college
As most of you know, the cost of higher education continues to increase, yet the available aid to students is not keeping up. College students are graduating with more debt than ever. Students with outstanding grades have typically been able to apply for merit based scholarship aid, while students from low income households have been able to apply for need based aid.
What about the average student who falls in between?
Should colleges continue to award merit based aid or only award need based aid?
