1. Since Hillsdale College has many charter schools throughout the United States of America, I believe Hillsdale is directly receiving funds from the Federal Department of Education.

   Hillsdale is a fine educational institution. It offers an education that prepares students to succeed outside of college and the ability to think for themselves. I know students that went to Hillsdale’s charter schools but did not have the money to send their kids to Hillsdale College. That was unfortunate, so please give money for scholarships to these colleges that do not accept federal funds, so that the best and the brightest minds have the opportunity to also receive an excellent education even if their parents can’t afford it.

3. It is apparent that most – if not all – the schools on this list have a religious affiliation. As such, the institutions are exempt from paying taxes, which is in a sense a benefit from the government. Furthermore, donors are likely deducting contributions from their individual or corporate tax liabilities – a direct benefit to the donors that indirectly benefits the schools.

   1. All of the students from these colleges will have PAID for their education. NONE of them will receive debt relief because none of their debts are from federal loans or grants, Brent. So…they are most definitely on the short end of the government handout.

   2. Fair enough, but I think most people would agree that those kinds of generic tax breaks do not come with government strings that rise to the level of infringing the schools’ freedom and independence.
