Federal Aid to Students Urged by NY Wis Considers Tuition Plans
Washington AP report notes educators in New York and Wisconsin press for state tuition aid programs akin to the GI Bill to aid private colleges. Robert Payton of C W Post Center argues private colleges risk being priced out without help, as rising costs and crowded public options squeeze private institutions including Princeton, Harvard, Stanford and Yale. Wisconsin’s Higher Education Opportunity Program would grant a $500 first-year award plus need-based supplements, while Payton’s plan would cover tuition up to 2600 with a 500 self-payment. Payton cites a 500000 dollar deficit at his college and rising tuition, with Post’s annual cost per student around 2408.
