Yeah, I would have to agree that they don't take advantage of the free education program in the US. I myself am a Haitian student that is currently benefiting from the free education program through FAFSA.

I think that the reason why the majority of Haitian are not benefiting from the program is due the ignorance of their parents most of the time, giving the fact that most of them didn't go through American education system and also the contentment they have of their current lifestyle compare the one the were living back in their country.

Those Haitian does not encourage their children to go as far as possible and to be ambitious in their endeavors, because most of them come from so little it may sometimes seem beyond them. Some of the students also believe that graduating high school is enough of an accomplishment'for a Haitian.'
