Today we have invited NPR's Corey Turner over to our Planet Money house because big things that may affect you, that may affect your kids, your higher ed dreams, they are happening.
Give less money out.
That is their proposal.
And so I... May I ask before we address that, is the problem...
that the money is being given out or that the money is needed, that college is so expensive.
I see.
Okay.
For the rest of the episode, we will try to untie that knot to understand what problem the Trump Department of Education is trying to fix specifically, why they think less money is the right approach, and simply why.
Will it all work?
But first, something we must address.
Why, Corey, then?
Whenever I run, like, calculations for how much I'm supposed to save for my very young children for college, it's like, oh, you might need millions of dollars.
Why are people telling me that?
Got it, got it.
Net price is what people actually pay.
Okay, send all your emails to Corey, but college net cost has not risen nearly as much as you may think.
Corey says schools advertise eye-popping tuition rates, but after financial aid and scholarships, the amount that families actually end up paying for undergrad really has not been changing.
That may be different if you're wealthy and you're not getting financial aid, but generally, yeah, grad school is the place where net tuition has really ballooned out of control.
Okay.
Okay.
