Should the federal government pay for tuition at four-year colleges and universities?

the government should be required to pay tuition at all public colleges and universities

No, government interference in the price of tuition has greatly increased the cost of higher education due to that amount being treated as the new minimum. Associate and trade programs should be the only programs to receive help and we should provide extra incentives for those trades we need the most.

Yes, only for students who are qualified. Also a cap should be implemented on how much a school can charge you to attend.

Depends on the tuition and student.

Both yes and no because if the government ends up paying for them completely, people will become lazy and won't work with as much effort because they know that they're tuition will already be getting paid by the government; and not providing them at all would make it much harder for low-income students to be able to pay-off their higher education. So I guess a partial amount would help but only for people who actually really do need it or deserve it because of their academic excellence.

The government should stay out of education after high school. If someone wants to go to college that is on them.

I think that we should just lower the price of school, education is a tool that should be accessible to everyone

College tuition should be free, but the people paying tuition and, who have college debt should pay it because they willing signed up knowing they would have to do that.

No, but provide more scholarship opportunities fir low-income students, also provide lower interest rates for student loans.

Yes, the federal government should, but only with certain conditions, such as a child who can not afford a college tuition.

I feel that if it is proved that the student comes from a low-income background and they cannot afford college and will be paying student debts for the rest of their life then yes, the government should pay for it. If the student can pay for it, let them pay for it.

No but there should be lower intuition rates for student. Not everyone can afford to make it in this high end world.

yes but only for people who do want to go to college and are actually going to take it seriously and cant afford it.

Government should help subsidize tuition at public colleges and universities meeting certain standards and lower interest rates on federal student loans.

If you get a scholarship you should receive the tuition for all 4 years but student interest rates loans should be lower.

Provide more grants and scholarships to low-income students, and tax universities billion dollar endowments to pay for it.

No, the government should decrease the use of loans for higher education so that cost will go down. Universities need to be held accountable for their budgets.

The Student should be able to pass the classes they take with government funded money, and in the case of misdemeanor and failure to pass classes, they should pay the money back in full.

No but make universities accountable with their finances, lower tuition, and allocate funds more accordingly.

Yes, but only for partial tuition and cap tuition increases by percentage so that universities can't take advantage.

No but regulate that massive inflation of tuition costs and offer loans that do not accrue interest while still pursuing a degree full time and minimal interest thereafter

No, but the federal government should enact regulations on for-profit universities to prevent the price-gouging of education

Yes, but only for low and middle-income students up to a certain threshold that actually need the support. Community colleges should be made free regardless

Yes, but make refunds and fair money back for those who have already paid for their own colleges or universities

The government should provide the opportunity for all who want to continue their education 2 years of post secondary education-however anything after that should allow opportunity’s for grants, scholarships or low/no interest loans. This is a way the US can invest in its own future.

No, but it should reimburse tuition for students who achieved a 3.0 or higher GPA and who enter career fields in service professions such as teaching, social work, first responders, public health care, etc.

Yes but students should have to have a minimum gpa not high but enough show they are taking it seriously

No. The federal government isn't constitutionally responsible for education. I'd rather pay those taxes to the state or local side.

Government should restrict pricing set by all universities, limit interest rates on loans, and make community college free.

yes, but only for certain disciplines (engineering, teaching, nursing, doctors), and definitely for trades (mechanics, electricians, plumbers, carpenters

Yes but only for partial tuition and Cap tuition costs per semester at universities based on student/family income. Offer extremely low interest rates on student loans.
