If only schools could go out back & pick dollars off the money tree.
I understand that college is really expensive, and people really don’t want to part with that much money even when they “can.” But it is important to understand that there is a limited amount of financial assistance a school can award, and they are not going to be able to award it to everyone. So the aid has to go to those who need it the most That is not to say that everyone who needs it gets it … because again, there is a limited amount of money. Schools have to determine a way to distribute limited funds in the most equitable way.
