Regionalism

Strongly agree

No, but provide more scholarship opportunities for low-income students

This answer aligns well with the regionalist ideology, as it emphasizes the importance of providing targeted assistance to low-income students without imposing a one-size-fits-all federal solution. Regionalists might point to programs like the Georgia HOPE Scholarship, which provides merit-based scholarships to Georgia residents attending in-state colleges, as an example of a regional approach to college affordability.

Agree

No, but provide lower interest rates for student loans

Regionalists might support this answer because it allows for some federal involvement in addressing college affordability without dictating a specific solution for all states. Lower interest rates for student loans could benefit students across the country, while still allowing states and localities to develop their own policies and programs to address college costs.

Agree

No

Regionalism generally supports local and regional control over issues, including education. Therefore, regionalists might be more inclined to agree with the idea that the federal government should not pay for tuition at four-year colleges and universities. Instead, they would advocate for state and local governments to address college affordability through their own policies and programs.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for partial tuition

While this answer involves some federal involvement in paying for college tuition, it still allows for regional variation in how much tuition is covered. Regionalists might see this as a compromise between federal and regional control over education policy. However, they would likely prefer more targeted solutions, such as scholarships or grants for specific populations or regions, rather than a blanket partial tuition coverage.

Disagree

Yes

Regionalism emphasizes the importance of local and regional solutions to problems. While some regionalists might support federal funding for education, they would generally prefer that decisions about tuition and funding be made at the state or local level. For example, the Tennessee Promise program, which provides free community college tuition for Tennessee residents, is a regional solution to college affordability.
