Loans to fill HOPE gap are limited. Some kids won’t get them. | Get Schooled  

Many of you compare today’s students to yourselves, noting that you funded your college education through part-time and summer jobs. But if you look at the rise in tuition, fees and room and board, the only way today’s students could cover their costs would be if their summer jobs included selling a kidney.

I also paid for part of my college and nearly all my graduate school through waitress jobs. I could not do that today. I could not earn enough waitressing to meet the higher tuitions and fees charged today.
