Should a multi millionaire son receive a scholarship to University is making major budget cuts along with raising tuition for those students who are offered scholarships? That is the question Dennis Romero asks in his LAWeekly.com column. It is also the successful opener to The Week's article 'College: When The Rich Get Scholarships'. Well my question is; when the rich get scholarships, what does the underpaid middle-class get? If a University is budgeting its money and only allows so much for scholarships and then those scholarships are given to those who can afford a college education, where do those who can't fall?
When it comes to education there is no exception, because education in America is expensive. WCCCD is very affordable. There are a lot of college fee students have to pay before they registered for classes. Starting from activity fee, registration fee, technology fee, lab fee, and then the district tuition fee. The textbooks are also expensive, especially for students whom are paying from their own pocket.
Without going to college, people will make minimum wage, if he/she do make good money, it is because he/she are breaking their backs for it. By attending college, a person will make more than both of these people. Also, a person could be trained in many different areas, ensuring a good career. Going to college will make getting a job in life an easy task. A person with a college education could take a good job, and will often find better ones throughout life.
Outward Bound gives scholarships out to the less fortunate public students that are financially unable to afford their adventurous programs. Due to the financial difference with the corporate clientele, they will not need to provide scholarships to the target audience of the PDP classes. Increasing the PDP program will increase the age range of students attending the school and the amount of people attending school. The majority of people that enroll in PDP courses
Week Three Assignment 1 This article is very informative and letting you know how student loans work and how to repay them. This article also lets you know how important it is to repay your loan because if not the government can garnish your wages and or take this out of your tax return. They allow you a few months after graduation to start your payments of repaying your loan. It is also very important due to the fact that these loans do have interest that comes along with paying the loan back.

The giant donations received from these types of students can be put to great use, one of these uses is funding scholarships. While I agree that it is temporarily unfair that students can buy their way into a college, because it effectively takes away spots from other students who worked harder then them. But because that money can then be used to directly help fund scholarships for more students so they can attend a college where they otherwise wouldn’t of been able to, it more then balances out the injustice of the original students that were passed over. When it comes right down to it, students that can afford to pay millions of dollars for their admittance serve a greater good then the average student. Critics would argue that when colleges let in students based on financial donations as opposed to academic prowess, they are actively devaluing the value of the education received at their
I’m sure it sounds ridiculous, but this is a scenario credit card debt can create. Learning to use credit cards responsibly can save thousands of us from having to dig out of debt after graduation. It will also prevent from having a bad credit history in the future that will affect other things we may want to do like obtaining a job or buying a house. Remember, the loans that we take out for college have to be paid back after graduation. Now add on a hefty credit card bill to that amount, and you will find yourself in an extremely difficult situation financially.
1. Higher Salary – While college tuition can be expensive, think of it as an investment that will help you earn more money after college. Even if you only earn a two-year associate’s degree, you’ll be able to find jobs that earn much higher salaries than you would with just a high school diploma. 2. More Opportunities – Earning a college degree will provide you with more career opportunities.
The logical thing for her to do is postpone her college enrollment until she’s ready. Likewise, if Jill was mentally prepared, yet knows she isn’t ready to handle the financial burden of attending a university, it would be beneficial for her to take some time off, work a year or two, and save up a college fund that would enable her to pay tuition costs; she could also take out loans to make up for what she isn’t able to pay. Even after subtracting the costs of tuition and fees, college graduates would have plenty of profit left over to pay off student loans, as their lifetime earnings are roughly $650,000 more than those who don’t obtain a higher education (Cohn, 2011). It is only rational that those who benefit from schooling, the students, pay the majority of the costs. With California’s current $16 billion budget deficit it is no surprise that Proposition 30 was needed to prevent a decrease in state funding to
When doing that people get the education they want but then have to work two or more jobs to pay back the loan. One way of overcoming this is to do research. Parents who hope to afford college for their children when the time comes around are better off researching options than simply trying to save more money for education. Having options will make it better to decide how much you will spend for college. For example, it may be cheaper to go to a community college than a university.
