From my experience, most Somali households (including the single parent ones) make over $50K/year. It would have been more beneficial for the govt to have lowered tuition for everyone than to offer free tuition for a select group of people

I assure you, that is not true for most Somali households relying on financial assistance. And there are many of them.

I'm not denying that this will be very helpful for low income Somali families, but what I'm saying is that the average Somali household makes over this $50K threshold and yet their kids still have to rely on osap loans to pay for tuition.
