Higher Education

 

Below are links to pages that better explain what changes Obama and McCain want to make to higher education.

 

McCain's View on Higher Education

 

McCain's Idea of improving higher education is to simplify it as much as possible. He believes that the application process for loans and tax benefits are confusing and complicated, which means that most people aren't getting as much support as they need or are entitled to. To do this McCain states that, consolidating tax forms and applications, family and students would help better families understanding  eligibility for financial aid. 

 

below is a link to the official John McCain website, which explains his views on higher education as stated above

Obama on higher education

 

Obama would like to create the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which would refund the first 4000 dollars spent in school as long as the student completed 100 hours of community service. Like McCain, Obama would like to simplify the financial aid process, by adding a box to existing tax forms that could be easily checked off, a parent and student would be able to apply for financial aid by just checking a box.

 

below is  a link to Obama's official website that states his views on higher education as stated above.

         In this video, McCain is asked," If you are president, what will you do about financial aid?" 

 

    - Mccain says that he was lucky enough to send his kids where they wanted to go, because they had the choice.

                                 Oboma at Summit High talks about Education

 

though you can't see much in this video, pay attention to the audio. Obama lays out his plan for credit based on community service. He really knows how to community organize. I someone gets that joke.
