Two-thirds of college-age Hispanics do not attend college, compared to just 47 percent of African Americans and 45 percent of Caucasians the same age. The study that produced these results also found that there is a correlation between low-income households and individuals who do not attend college. Fifty-nine percent of people under the age of thirty from households with incomes below $30,000 who participated in the study do not have a degree and are not currently attending college. However, this number decreases to thirty-five percent of the same age group when they come from a household earning at least $90,000 (Adam 61). The article written by Michelle Adam titled “Who Can Afford College” is based on an editorial written by Thomas Mortenson.

To further prove educational equality, statistics have shown that there is a direct relationship between increased household income and the rate of obtaining a bachelor's degree. The rate increases from 12.7 percent to 26.8 percent and the highest income level had a success rate of 51.3 percent (Adam
