Rising college tuition puts more stress on Louisiana students - Carson, NOLA.com

The uncertainty of TOPS and steady increase in college tuition in Louisiana has created a new stress factor for upcoming high school graduates as we apply for college. Not going to college is no longer a feasible option; high-paying careers require one to have a college degree. And as more and more people go to college, jobs require higher and higher degree distinctions. The costs for four-year colleges are enough to put anyone into debt, but now those same college students are looking at needing a six-year education or even more. As most parents are not able to pay for their children’s education, in order to stay afloat, college students need scholarships. And those scholarships are not as easy to come by, at least not ones that offer a high amount of money. https://www.nola.com/opinions/2018/10/rising-college-tuition-puts-more-stress-on-louisiana-students.html
