How Does the Government Help Low-Income Students? | Episode 5 of Just the Facts: Do You Qualify?

The US federal government provides low interest loans and grants (such as Pell grants) to low income students for community college, university, technical college, and graduate school. Other programs include Federal Work Study (FWS), which provides students with part-time jobs and the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), which provides tax breaks to students under set income limits. Many of the programs not related to tax credits require a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Stuent Aid). Federal programs that help pre-kindergarten children (in households that meet income limits) include Early Head Start (which supports pregnant women and families with infant and toddlers) and Head Start (which services kids 3-5), which funds services such as meals, parental coaching, and health services.

Creating a Life Well Lived with Erling Kagge

On this Walker Webcast, Willy was joined by legendary explorer and bestselling author, Erling Kagge. Erling was the first explorer in history to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the summit of Mt. Everest on foot. He was also the first to walk alone to the South Pole, and the lessons he learned along the way about silence and the meaning of life are invaluable. He sat down with Willy at the Sun Valley Writers’ Conference to discuss his latest book, After the North Pole: A Story of Survival, Mythmaking, and Melting Ice . Their conversation explores the value of presence, the drive behind human adventure, the importance of gratitude, and what Erling sees as the secret to a happy life.
