Script for TV Film on the Higher Education Message March 19, 1970 Today I have sent to the Congress my proposals on a subject vitally important to the future of this nation: higher education. Let me first address myself to young people thinking of going to college. Under the plan I am proposing today, no qualified student who wants to go to college would be barred by the lack of money. Through a combination of student aid, and a new student loan association that would make it possible for any student to get a loan, you could afford to go to college no matter what your family's income might be. It would not be a free ride. You would probably have to work, and you would be expected to pay back the loan after you have a good job. But you would be able to afford higher education.
