Well it would take until around the 70s and 80s for the actual US government to help pay for education. During the cold war the government implemented this allowing for spending of government funds to help the educational system, this idea was brought because the USSR had free education and the US feared that if not every american got an education that the people wouldn't be able to help beat the Soviets in technology.
