[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of low income students going to college dropped during covid and is now dropping again because of the FAFSA f**-up. This is going to lead to more income inequality. But on dcum, everyone is yelling about the unfair advantage first gen and poor students get and plotting how they can look like they are first gen.

The whole thing is sad and gross.[/quote]

we are the only country in the world that pays for people that aren't citizens to be educated in higher institutions. It's laughable in other countries. [/quote]

Wow, this post is amazing in managing to be so exactly opposite of correct.  Many countries pay for non-residents to study in their countries.   Germany, for example, has programs teaching in English to try to attract foreign students.  Permanent resident noncitizens in almost every country in the world EXCEPT THE US get very highly subsidized tuition.

The ONLY noncitizens eligible for student aid in the US are permanent residents, residents of territories like Micronesia, and those that fall into very narrow categories such as designated victims of human trafficking, people granted asylum, and abuse victims.   And that aid is very, very much less than the subsidies that permanent residents or asylum seekers get in almost every other country in the world.  [/quote]
