I’ve taught in poorer locations in the Midwest. Ton of college students in those sorts of areas are going to get zero assistance from their families. When you look at need-based metrics for scholarships and the like you will have a ton of people whose familys compute to a negative contribution to their education.
Yes, I know. I was one of those students. Though I’m not from the Midwest.
But here on the East coast, people like us are a minority of the college educated population. Only about 33% of the students at my undergraduate were on financial aid. 67% were paying full price and there are a lot of schools that have that ratio.
