[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to gov scorecard, the average LAB-ABIDING middle class kid leaves Calvin University with $23,000 in student loans.

While CONVICTED CRIMINALS get a free bachelor's degree.

[b]Pell Grants covers 60% of the program, so we know that the total cost per pupil for this program is around $11,500 or about 1/3 of the cost of tuition at Calvin[/b]. Calvin also provides financial aid for students of, on average, $23,000. Students are Calvin are getting a much more expensive (and valuable) program, with, on average, more being paid for them by other people (grants, aid, etc.) than the entire cost of the program for prisoners.[/quote]

In other words, convicted felons are given 66% off tuition while poor and middle class families are told to pay 100% with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. Low and middle class young adults are put in debt to subsidize this virtue-signaling.[/quote]

Poor kids qualify for pell grants.  My riend who is lower middle class has 2 kids going to school for practically free between Pell and merit.[/quote]

The maximum Pell grant is $6,495 per year. That doesn't cover much college, generally just CC. [/quote]
