How will Obama help students with the rising costs of higher education?
Ans: This is very personal to Obama. His parents and grandparents were able to obtain their education through government programs, like the GI Bill that provided educational opportunities to a generation of Americans returning from World War II. To make college affordable for American families, Obama will enact a new law that will ensure that the first $4000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university.
