Answer to Question 1

C
The Nurse Training Act provided funding for nursing student education through scholarships, loans, recruitment, school construction and maintenance, and special educational projects. Until its passage, federal funding for nursing education was modest at best.
The Children's Bureau was created in 1912 in response to concerns about women and children's health.
The Hill-Burton Act provided federal funds for hospital construction and health care centers.
The Social Security Act of 1935 included financial aid for older adults and Title V health care benefits for children with disabilities.

Answer to Question 2

A
State- and government-sponsored institutions are nearly always much less expensive than private education and give significant tuition discounts to in-state students.
Work-study plans are just one component of financial aid. Although obtaining work-study financing will help with the cost of the education, this alone may not offer significant reduction in actual costs, especially if the student attends a private school.
Scholarships for private institutions can significantly decrease the cost of attending, but students may not be eligible or may not be awarded scholarships because they are based on need or scholarship or a combination of both. Considering that private education is usually significantly more expensive than public education at a government-sponsored college, this option is not the most affordable, but it should be investigated because the possibility does exist for this option to make education quite affordable.
Working part time will probably not gain the student enough income to make a significant difference in the cost of attending college.
