Rural students will be hardest hit by college loan proposals
Under such a scheme people would take out a loan to cover the cost of tuition and pay it back on an income contingent basis once they graduate.
The scheme, which has seen tuition rise to £9,000 per year in the UK, poses many difficulties. However the new proposed loan scheme will disproportionately affect those from rural and agricultural backgrounds, deter them from applying to college, and widen the gap between urban and rural opportunities.
