Jackson also said the Coalition has raised scholarship money to try to help 194 students attending college currently. He warned that high college costs are a serious burden for students.
" They are trapped in the student loan debt crisis. The cost of student loans are exorbitant. I mean, Spellman, $34,000 a year," said Jackson.
Reverend Jackson said college tuition and student loan expenses should be an issue in the presidential campaign.
