| People don't understand that it is not as easy as it seems for low income students to make ends meet. My very low income friend is a top student and he has had a very hard time just getting his info together. Low income parents are often uneducated and do not have the file system available and do not keep track of their stuff. My friend had to do backflips just to get all the documentation from his divorced parents and then had to make sure that he got a free ride plus spending money because his parents could afford to give him zero. He did wind up getting it because is a gifted student. But it is not as easy as people imagine. Now, if you're poor and an average student, you have a really hard time. |
