This is what I was going for and just made up the $250,000 family income not cost of college https://admission.princeton.edu/cost-aid/financial-aid-numbers
At Princeton it’s free for $160,000 family income. So why not expand financial aid to a much higher amount. Not free college but help to make it more affordable.
As far as military interaction… Just looking for a different way of doing things. The old ways doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe try something different. As stated above it works very well in Israel. Maybe a version of that, not for everyone but for those that need that help. Many kids aren’t ready to start college. Maybe they need to get discipline and their studies up. Why not like an educational boot camp? Why not use the military ways to build self esteem? So many kids don’t have a chance due to where they live and what type of schools are in their neighborhood. Again, just trying to think out of the box. Not saying these kids are going to the front lines.
