Research Question:
How can the gap between high- and low-income group students in college affect their professional careers? What role does the government need to play in covering the tuition costs for the students from the low-income groups? Do merit-based admissions affects low-income students? What can be done in order to decrease the staggering cost of college that’s weeding out students who are disproportionately low-income? If the widening college completion gap fracturing the American Dream and its economy then why the government and policymakers aren’t doing anything to fix it?
