Should colleges give any need based grants?

No, I believe you’re missing the point. I’m not writing about a student working within the context of college admissions. Rather, I’m writing about students that must work for a reason altogether more important the college admissions: sustenance. There’s a difference in urgency and pressure between the two. Whether ones parents thinks their kid should work, or if its a good resume builder, or even a good character builder is irrelevant. Not having to worry about feeding yourself is, in my opinion, a luxury that all students aren’t afforded. And given that fact, not having to work but choosing to (because it’s a choice so long as you don’t suffer by not doing it) is a luxury. Do you disagree?
