> But if you make $130,001/year, you pay thousands?

No. From the article:

> Another part of the program will help students whose family income surpasses the maximum: If their family's income is between $130,000 and $200,000, they can still get grants covering at least half of their tuition.

I'm right. From their own website:

You're wrong and misunderstanding the website. That is only the minimum they guarantee for each income bracket. Someone earning $65,001 will have substantially the same finaid package as someone making $65,000. Go try out the npc and see for yourself.

I'm not misunderstanding the website; I'm just reading what's written on it and there is no mention of an additional within-bracket gradient.
