However, both of these “financial aids,” had certain conditions. Poor students often had to do chores in order…

believes that if FAFSA could be improved, that would be one big step to improving the college admissions process.

As students begin to fill out college applications, they have to talk to their parents to see what is most affordable. FAFSA is supposed to help families with low income, but is it enough?

Financial aid would certainly help students with their financial problems, but not everyone qualifies for government help. Even though, “...student loans are…

economy it does not have enough money for every single college student to receive financial aid. The Government needs to give college students financial aid, so when they graduate they will not have to worry about how they are going to make ends meet. While going to school, college students need to be able to focus all of their attention on school. Not on how they are going to pay back debt. Receiving financial aid means that graduates will have a brighter future. Be able to do things with their…
