Financing An Education In The Modern Family
Texas A M University Extension home management specialist Mrs Wanda Meyer notes that families and relatives provide two fifths of a student’s income while long term savings cover another fifth. Students fund over a quarter, scholarships contribute about one twentieth, and 21 percent of students receive them. Between 1939 and 1958 family income rose 29 percent, living costs 10.8 percent, and college costs 12.9 percent, with tax shifts likely increasing the government burden in the next decade.
