Exactly. $50K doesn't pay for 2 years of a public university or even for 1 year of most private universities. Federally-subsidized student loans cap out at about $8K/year, I believe, then you have to borrow at regular rates. Which low-income kids won't be able to do.

Black kids are going to look at this and go, thanks for nothing.

If the federal government made much more grant aid available, that would help a lot more low-income kids in a very real way.

Why can't more people go to community college for 2 years and then commute to a state school for 2 more years?  That is very affordable.  Okay, we have to account for the fact that some students live in rural areas and have to access to local state schools.  That is an exception. I also know that community colleges have low graduation rates, but if we encourage a high-support cohort model that could change.[/quote]
