Many students who get into colleges get into huge debt because of how much money they had to borrow from the government

Scholarships may give funding, but only if the student wins. Doing scholarships takes time, and people who don't have as much time to do it don't get equal funding. When students get into debt, they take most of their lives paying it. It's like the federal government made sure to lure the young students into a trap where they will have to be paying off a huge debt for the rest of their lives. The federal government has to make sure that all students have equal chances of graduating from a college.
