Budget Surplus and College

How about trying to use some of the budget surplus to save students within the Fargo area some money? My tuition is high, and I'm not sure I will be able to make the money necessary to pay my student loans by staying in Fargo. I'd love to stay here but after working full time and attending school full time, the last thing I want to have is two jobs to support myself once I graduate. Why can't the City contribute money to grants or scholarships, or discounts on a portion of the loan (it has to be repaid if the student leaves Fargo), internships that pay to help students out, as long as there's a commitment to stay in Fargo after graduation?
