A black child, from a single parent family went to some of the most prestigious colleges in America .... how did he pay for that? How could he get in, when a vast majority of American kids, with both parents working as professionals - couldn’t even begin to pay tuition?

His typical white grandmother was the VP of a bank. His grandparents were much more his family than their daughter was. he also went to a prestigious private school in Hawaii.

Dear Hodar,

In terms of tuition at top-tier schools, the poorer you are, the less you pay.

Currently, Harvard, Princeton and Yale generally expect students with family incomes of $65K/year or less to pay 0% of their tuition, room and board. They are provided grants to pay for all of that. These schools no longer provide student loans as parts of their standard financial aid packages (although they did when the Kenyan anti-Christ was in school), so, if you're not well-to-do, you can go very cheaply, or even free, to some high-profile schools.

If you can get in.
