Abstract This paper examines whether college’s effectiveness and value still remains with the rising costs to attend throughout the nation. Rising costs of college have become customary and expected with the current educational demand. While this may seem to be a pressing issue, the hardest hit tend to be the low income students as well as the middle class. The middle class typically tends to be underserved when it comes to receiving financial aid and resources. On the other hand, low income students don’t have the proper support around them and typically experience worse graduation rates. The current system of providing aid is flawed and does not equally provide the level of support that is necessary for all students. With proper amends to the grant and aid system, colleges can ensure that they are providing the proper financial assistance.
