To Educate the Poor
Maybe private university scholarships are making a difference:
. . . several lawmakers say they were stunned to learn that 16 percent of New York students at private colleges came from families that earned $20,000 or less in 2002, compared with 13 percent at the four-year colleges of the State University of New York. On the upper end of the income scale, 46 percent of those attending private colleges came from homes that earned $80,000 or more, while the rate at SUNY was higher, at 52 percent. These statistics are based on state data analyzed by the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities, a trade and lobbying group for private colleges.This was embedded in an article about state funding to private institutions in New York. Hope we get some of it!
