As proposed cuts threaten to slash both state higher education budgets and the Federal Pell Grant Program, a report released this week by the Education Trust shows the average low-income family must contribute an amount roughly equivalent to 72 percent of its annual household income each year just to send one child to a four-year college.
Middle-class and high-income families fare much better. They contribute amounts equivalent to 27 percent and 14 percent of their yearly earnings, respectively. The new report, "Priced Out: How the Wrong Financial-Aid Policies Hurt Low-Income Students," can be found online at http://www.edtrust.org/.
