| Message | Putting a student through university or perhaps more at the same time can be a financial struggle for many families who do quite qualify as low-income or poor. |

| Message | We can also go with the completely subsidized higher education option. It is the fastest way to train a new class of intelligent and skilled individuals that will in turn train others. |
