The article focuses on myths related to funds available to students that arise due to misleading statistics as judged by journalists and government officials. It mentions that increase in sticker price, fees to attend college is less as than financial aid to students in private institutions. It reports that increase in student debt is not because of high college fees but due to increase in college enrollment and independent colleges enroll students irrespective of their financial status.
