Abstract

Comments on the need for a wider accessibility to higher education for low-income students in the United States. Consideration of how British Prime Minister Tony Blair raised the student fees in Great Britain in order to make education more widely accessible; How the legislation calls for students to pay a portion of their education proportionate to their job earnings upon graduation; Shift in financial aid programs from student grants to loans; Implementation of an income-contingent loan program by former President Bill Clinton; Suggestion that more students would consider higher education opportunities if there was less financial risk involved.
