"In light of rising costs of higher education, especially amidst cuts to funding and taxes on endowments by the administration, many families find college unaffordable."
"The promise of the 1965 Higher Education Act to make college accessible has dramatically fallen short, with many families left in the dark about financial aid options."
This article addresses the increasing confusion surrounding college affordability, particularly for working- and middle-class families. As prospective students visit colleges, discussions often skip the crucial topic of cost. The Trump administration's strategies to tax endowments and cut research funds have exacerbated this issue, making college seem financially unattainable, even at public universities. A survey indicates that a significant portion of Americans doubt the value of a four-year degree due to its rising costs. Thus, the original promise of the Higher Education Act appears to be unfulfilled as many families remain unaware of available financial aid options.
