biggest increase in tuition(学费)in thirty years.But the study also found that the average student pays a lot less than the publishedcosts of a college education,because of grants(补助金).And it points out thatAmerican students received a record amount of financial aid last year.Students do not have to repay grants,unlike financial aid in the form of loans（贷款）.About half of American college students receive grants.This means that educationcosts differ from student to student.The report is from the College Board.This is a non-profit membership group ofschools and other educational organizations.One of its best-known jobs is toadminister(管理)college entrance tests.The College Board says tuition at two-yearpublic colleges rose at the same rate as four-year schools.The College Board says the increases were mainly caused by cuts（削减）in statespending on education.But a congressman(议员)says colleges have increased theirprices in both good and bad economic times.John Boehner of Ohio is chairman of theHouse Committee on Education and the Work force.He says colleges do not want totalk about their decisions
