How is the First Family Paying for College?
Malia Obama will be graduating high school next year. How does the first family plan to pay for her tuition?
The New York Post reports:
How the Obamas are paying for Malia’s college
Michelle Obama’s message for high school seniors fretting about their college prospects is simple.
Do your research. Visit college campuses. Sit in on classes. Talk to professors, graduates and students. In the end, picking a college “is a very individual decision.”
The first lady could just as well have been talking to her older daughter, Malia, who is expected to head off to college next fall with the Class of 2020.
The 17-year-old is among US high school seniors who are nervously taking standardized tests, completing college admissions applications, filling out financial aid forms and writing personal essays — all on deadline. Then they get to spend a few months waiting to find out if they got into their dream school.
Malia has some advantages, though. What school would turn away a president’s daughter?

Getting in is one thing and staying in is another. Amy Carter got tossed out of Brown. What will this first daughter’s track record be given that her parents did the affirmative action route and one had to have his records sealed? She will come out with some degree even if she didn’t earn it.
She will be accepted to any college or university she applies to – and won’t pay a dime, I predict. Either full ride scholarships or funds will be provided…….by federal financial aid grants, perhaps…….?
My guess is an Ivy League school, close to NYC and able to fly out at will to warmer climes……. Yale is probably out, since they both are Harvard alumni. So, Cornell, or Princeton – like Michelle – or Columbia – like Barak – or, who knows? Maybe she’ll go “rogue” and to to NYU….
She will get accepted wherever she goes, and no cost to her or hers………
