Why not just make it a graduated tuition based on parental income?
- EduardoBautista 12y agoWhat things like FAFSA and even what Stanford is doing never consider is whether or not the parents are even going to help pay at all.
- acadien 12y agoYes, I remember friends having that problem in undergrad in Canada. There was a way around it but it was an application process with an interview. I believe they were concerned with people trying to game the system to get lower tuition fees.
- levosmetalo 12y agoIn some, especially Europpean, countries such thing exist, and it's called tax. Besides paying taxes, there's no additional fees for attending university.
- roel_v 12y ago"Besides paying taxes, there's no additional fees for attending university." So what countries are that?
- _delirium 12y agoIn Europe, these are the countries I know of that either have no tuition, or only nominal fees up to €100/semester or so (for EU/EEA citizens): Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden. Denmark is the most generous, not only charging no tuition, but even paying students about €700/mo to attend university, in order to cover living expenses [1].

- morgante 12y agoIt is. If parent make $126,000 a year they're not suddenly on the hook for full tuition. $125,000 is just the lower bound where transition is 0.
