Essay 3 zach von ruff

I have a few ideas for this next essay. I really want to talk about the effects of high tution. I think it has become too expensive to go to college. I know a lot of people who have gotten into great schools that cant go because it cost to much. It isnt fair for them. I know that there is money out there, but with every college stundent trying to get money for school it becomes difficult. I have a friend who got a 40,000 dollar schloarship to go to a university and he still couldnt afford to go. It hard for people who dont have a lot of money to go to nice universitys. I think some of the major results of high tution are lower enrollment for colleges, people feeling like college is out of reach for them, and ultimatly creating more economic troubles for the middle and lower class. People tell me to go and apply for a grant. Well i cant get one because my parents have a high income, but they are also paying for four kids to go to college and they cant afford to let all of us go. now days, a college education is essetial to being succesful. But the cost of tution and room and board make it almost impossible for some people. To be honest im not really sure how we can solve this problem. Maybe more scholarships should be designated strickly to students who have 2 or more family members in college or something of that nature. Education is such a valuable thing and it shouldnt be limited to the wealthy.
