How does the government make it possible for anyone to attend college?

The Federal Title IV and the Federal Needs Analysis were created to help anyone and everyone attend college with the assistance of the government.

The Federal Title IV programs and the Federal Needs Analysis are the governments attempt to create access for all who wish to attend college. The basic assumption of Federal Needs Analysis is to calculate what is called the Expected Family Contribution. Federal Needs Analysis is a standardized formula that utilizes the data collected on the FAFSA. The basic need formula is Cost of Attendance- Expected Family Contribution= Need. This basic formula is used by all schools who participate in Title IV Funding. This formula determines how much need based aid students and families receive. The assumption is that needy students or students with a very low efc will receive the most need based on aid and make education affordable. The other factor to consider are the various education options available to many students such as community colleges that are very affordable for your firsty two years of undergraduates work or for many technical programs.
