"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"834228\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think so. Certainly, that's something we've heard from the large number of students who are on the program. It's upfront in nature, so it's money that's going to students to offset the high cost of tuition, the country-wide average of which has risen 180% since the mid-1990s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"834229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Since it's on the front end, it helps students understand how much they're going to be paying for their particular education. That helps those students from under-participating backgrounds to understand the debt they're taking on; those are students who may be more debt averse and have a tendency to work more hours off-campus, those sorts of things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"834230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Upfront grants provide an important part of the envelope of student financial assistance programs because they help students understand how much debt they're taking on and what the full cost of their program and education will be.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"834228\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, je crois. C'est ce que nous entendons dire par les \u00e9tudiants qui en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient. Le syst\u00e8me permet d'accorder des bourses imm\u00e9diates aux \u00e9tudiants pour compenser le niveau \u00e9lev\u00e9 des frais de scolarit\u00e9, lequel a augment\u00e9 en moyenne de 180 p. 100 pour l'ensemble du pays depuis le milieu des ann\u00e9es 90.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"834229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme ce sont des bourses imm\u00e9diates, les \u00e9tudiants savent exactement quel est le co\u00fbt net de leur \u00e9ducation. Cela aide les \u00e9tudiants des milieux sous-participants \u00e0 bien comprendre leur niveau d'endettement. Je parle des \u00e9tudiants qui n'aiment pas s'endetter et qui ont tendance \u00e0 travailler de plus longues heures hors campus, par exemple.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"834230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les bourses imm\u00e9diates repr\u00e9sentent une partie importante de l'enveloppe des programmes d'aide financi\u00e8re pour les \u00e9tudiants parce qu'elles les aident \u00e0 comprendre combien d'argent ils empruntent et quel sera le co\u00fbt total net de leur \u00e9ducation.</p>"
