I guess you are talking about the USA. Most European countries, many African countries, and the socialist Asian countries did pay automatic grants to their students. This was very widespread and nationally administered.Many middle aged people say that school and college was not only free in their time, but yes they did get paid for going to college or technical school. This is a fact. Even in Africa, this was the case. A fact amongst many, that the government and the lenders don't want you to know.
I have heard of at least one higher education school that was free. But generally speaking, as far as I know, a higher education in this country was never free. Let alone actually paying students to go. Also, back in the days when I went to school, they did have a trade school you could attend for free along with highschool called the Bay-Aranac Skill Center. Which taught trades such as welding. I myself took that course. But that was something different from college. Neither was I paid to attend.
