Would free tuition really be beneficial? what kind of changes will it cause if it’s used nationally? I believe that free tuition would be very beneficial especially the way that New York has planned out how to allow students to participate in college for free.
What they have done is created a program, https://www.hesc.ny.gov/pay-for-college/financial-aid/types-of-financial-aid/nys-grants-scholarships-awards/the-excelsior-scholarship.html#horizontalTab1 this link explains the qualifications as well for those who make 125,000 or less and have at least 12 credits per term and at least 30 a year. I think this works because although this pays for all tuition you still have to pay for books, room and board. As said in this site https://www.cuny.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/excelsior-scholarship-faqs/#1494000263901-57ba8836-7827 you could find the award amounts and the obligations of the recipient. This would make it more challenging because you would have to execute a Contract agreeing to reside in NYS for the length of time the award was received, and, if employed during such time, be employed in NYS. What this program kind of forces on to you is becoming a responsible student that’s hard working and can handle the schedule of being a student on top of being an employee. Once they graduate, they must stay in New York for the same amount of time that they’ve used the scholarship. https://www.suny.edu/smarttrack/types-of-financial-aid/scholarships/excelsior/ , this also classifies more about how it works after you’ve graduated. I would say that this would work if its been made a national program, it would bring students to be responsible keeping up with all that they have. The partial reason that students ARE in debt is because they get loans that they have no real way of paying back or lose eligibility to their scholarships because they couldn’t meet the standards of it, and they would be forced to pay it as if it were a loan with no money ready to begin payments. Having the excelsior program makes it so that even before you try to apply to it that you have good grades, live in state so you don’t try to “escape” so to speak. Also gives you no choice but to try and get a job as well so you’d be able to pay for your books and rooms.
Costly College Tuition
The debt that students are in are at an all-time high, 1.53 trillion. College students are so much so in debt that its practically the same amount the US owes china, and the college debts are continuing to rise.
as it also states here on this https://www.nitrocollege.com/research/average-student-loan-debt as well. The legislative branch is what I believe to be the reason why laws aren’t being passed to reduce college tuition. As it states in article one section eight you could interpret as our issue isn’t being solved because the legislative branch doesn’t agree with reduced tuition, because they aren’t fairly convinced of the beneficial reasons. We as young adults aren’t pushing for it as much as we wan it, not many of us vote for it. More elderly pay attention to voting for people that benefit them instead of us, not like they would be on our side, when its we who should be voting for people who benefit us instead.
Reduced College Tuition
Education
college tuition should be reduced, reason being is because if it continues how it is now, we’d never get out of that 1.4 trillion debt that we’re in with ourselves. In the concept map we’ve made it demonstrates/shows links that explain the many pros and positives that would be beneficial to our messed-up economy.
This picture shows how badly we let this issue slip by our hands, thinking we wouldn’t be affected if we the youth of proper age to vote.

this site explains the over all benefits to having reduced tuition, one of the ways it benefits is the students… obviously, and it benefits the school as well, because it brings more students to their school and makes the school well known.
