According to a statement by Becker, efforts to control costs at public universities, increased state investments, and federal support for the Pell Grant have made college more affordable and reduced student debt. However, costs remain high for out-of-state public university students and private college students, with some facing annual bills of up to $95,000. Despite this, many institutions offer significant discounts to middle- and lower-income students, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which will no longer charge tuition to undergraduates from families earning below $200,000 starting in the fall.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) aims to make its education accessible to students from all financial backgrounds, as stated by Stu Schmill, MIT's dean of admissions and student financial services. Despite this goal, nearly 38% of the university's total student body of around 12,000 students are undergraduates, suggesting that a significant portion of students may still face financial challenges in pursuing their education at the institution.

In response, Congress passed a bill requiring the Department of Education to make the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form available on October 1 every year. This move is aimed at ensuring that students who rely on federal Pell grants and loans can access financial aid for higher education.
