美国高校加大经济援助力度(1)【沪江慢速VOA080116】
哈佛大学做出了扩大财政援助的决定，这给了其他学校(是否)照办的压力
US Colleges Move to Increase Financial Aid (1/2)
A decision by Harvard University to expand financial aid is putting pressure on other schools to do the same.
The full price for one year at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is more than forty-five thousand dollars. Many other private colleges cost just as much. But Harvard is much wealthier than any other American university, so it has more to give.
Harvard already offers a free education to students from families that earn up to sixty thousand dollars a year. This has helped increase the numbers of lower income and minority students.
Now, the aim is to help all but the wealthiest American families pay for a Harvard education. The new policies announced last month will assist families that earn as much as one hundred eighty thousand dollars. These families will be asked to pay no more than ten percent of their income for college.For example, a family earning one hundred twenty thousand dollars would pay about twelve thousand a year. Under existing student aid policies the amount is more than nineteen thousand.
参考译文：
哈佛大学做出了扩大财政援助的决定，这给了其他学校(是否)照办的压力。
位于麻撒诸塞州剑桥的哈佛大学一年的全部费用要四万五千多美金。很多其他私立学院的费用一样多。但是哈佛比其他的美国大学富裕的多，所以它可以拿出更多的资金。
哈佛已经向那些来自于年收入6万美金家庭的学生提供免费教育。这使得低收入家庭的学生和少数民族学生的数量增加。
现在的目标是帮助最富裕的家庭外的美国家庭支付哈佛的费用。这项于上个月宣布的新政策将向那些收入最高达到18万美金的家庭提供援助。这些家庭只需支付不超过他们收入的10%的费用。例如，一个收入12万美金的家庭一年只需支付约一万二千元的费用。在现有的助学金政策下，此家庭需支付一万九千多。
