What we see in our sector is that a lot of students are coming in after a liberal arts degree, or as a second career after trying something else. This means many of them may have families or other responsibilities. What I experience in speaking with them is that they are struggling. It's difficult to live in today's economic world, dealing with all the other challenges of life and also being a full-time student in an intensive medical program.
The grant portion is very important. One of the ways we see it, very tangibly, is that the graduate should not be burdened with huge sums of debt that take them many years to get out of.
