The Beginning of an Idea...

The issue I'm planning to cover are money problems for college students, more specifically the increasing tuition costs and financial aid funding. Tuition costs increase, financial aid helps but for some students not enough, loans have to be taken out that put students in debt, the family begins to struggle in budgetting the way they spend their money in order to support their child through college (sometimes even supporting more than one child through college), students begin to work part-time maybe even full-time to cover school fees and living costs, etc. There are so many other problems that come from this one issue of having to pay so much money for school for those that cannot afford it without struggling in one way or another.
