ST, I should have mentioned that in the RL US State of Georgia, the "Hope Scholarship" was funded using lottery profits, and the lottery profits were a new source that had not previously existed. It's been in place for more than ten years now, with very few changes. In fact, with so-called Pell Grants from the US Government for families that have less than a certain level of income, a college education can be had at a public university without any expense to the student. It wouldn't be a luxury standard of living, but it could be done without deprivation.
