Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student aid in higher education has recently become a hot-button issue. Parents trying to pay for their children's education, college administrators competing for students, and even President Bill Clinton, whose recently proposed tax breaks for college would change sharply the federal government's financial commitment to higher education, have staked a claim in its resolution. In The Student Aid Game, Michael McPherson and Morton Owen Schapiro explain how both colleges and governments are struggling to cope with a rapidly changing marketplace, and show how sound policies can help preserve the strengths and remedy some emerging weaknesses of American higher education. McPherson and Schapiro offer a detailed look at how undergraduate education is financed in the United States, highlighting differences across sectors and for students of differing family backgrounds. They review the implications of recent financing trends for access to and choice of undergraduate college and gauge the implications of these national trends for the future of college opportunity. The authors examine how student aid fits into college budgets, how aid and pricing decisions are shaped by government higher education policies, and how competition has radically reshaped the way colleges think about the strategic role of student aid. Of particular interest is the issue of merit aid. McPherson and Schapiro consider the attractions and pitfalls of merit aid from the viewpoint of students, institutions, and society. The Student Aid Game concludes with an examination of policy options for both government and individual institutions. McPherson and Schapiro argue that the federal government needs to keep its attention focused on providing access to college for needy students, while colleges themselves need to constrain their search for strategic advantage by sticking to aid and admission policies they are willing to articulate and defend publicly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financing of higher education is undergoing great change in many countries around the world. In recent years many countries are moving from a system where the costs of funding higher education are shouldered primarily by taxpayers, through government subsidies, to one where students pay a larger share of the costs. There are a number of factors driving these trends, including: A push for massification of higher education, in the recognition that additional revenue streams are required above and beyond those funds available from governments in order to achieve higher participation rates Macroeconomic factors, which lead to constraints on overall government revenues Political factors, which manifest in demands for funding of over services, thus restricting the funding available for higher (tertiary) education A concern that the returns to higher education accrue primarily to the individual, rather than to society, and thus students should bear more of the burden of paying for it This volume will help to contribute to an understanding of how these trends occur in various countries and regions around the world, and the impact they have on higher education institutions, students, and society as a whole. With contributions for the UK, USA, South Africa and China this vital new book gives a truly global picture of the rapidly changing situation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Congress debates the reauthorization of the basic federal student aid legislation, and as governors and state legislators cope with increasingly severe budgetary problems of their own, the issues of preserving college opportunity and sharing the burden of college costs are particularly critical and timely. This book assesses the role of government subsidies for higher education—especially but not exclusively federal student aid—in keeping college affordable for Americans of all economic and social backgrounds. The authors examine the effects of student aid policies of the last twenty years. They address several vital questions, including: Has federal student aid encouraged the enrollment and broadened the educational choices of disadvantaged students? Has it made higher education institutions more secure and educationally more effective—or has it raised costs and prices as schools try to capture additional aid? Has federal student aid made the distribution of higher education's benefits, and the sharing of costs, fairer? And what are the likely trends in patterns of college affordability? Drawing on their analysis, the authors highlight some of the principal dimensions of policy choice on which the debate has focused, as well as some that have been relatively neglected. Building upon their conclusion that student aid works, they propose reforms that would bolster the role of income-tested aid in the overall student financing picture. McPherson and Schapiro recommend a number of incremental reforms that could improve the effectiveness of existing federal aid programs and present a proposal to replace a substantial fraction of state-operating subsidies to colleges and universities with expanded federal aid.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The affordability of higher education is an increasing challenge for individuals and families in America. A student's chance of going to college and actually receiving their degree continues to be closely associated with their economic situation, as well as that of their family. The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between student financial aid and undergraduate degree completion to evaluate the impact of different sources of student financial aid on persistence and degree completion. Data used in this research is from the Linked Longitudinal Administrative Data Set (LLADS), which includes data from three different sources: the Enhanced Missouri Student Achievement Study (EMSAS), the ACT Student Assessment data file, and student financial aid data provided by the Missouri Student Assistance Resource Services (MOSTARS). The sample is made up of first-time, first-semester freshmen students from six Missouri institutions of higher education. A longitudinal study was conducted using the sample of three freshman cohorts. The cohorts were followed for five academic years. Persistence for the respective year of analysis was used as a dependent variable and separate logistic analysis were run for each year. To analyze student degree completion, two dependent variables were created and two different logistic regression analyses were run. Independent variables for the study have been grouped into five constructs: (1) Demographic Characteristics; (2) Major/Academic Performance; (3) Family Income; (4) Institution Type; and last (5) Financial Aid. Results suggest that federal government intervention in the financing of higher education through policy is important. Without the federal government's intervention, it is possible that only high-income groups will be able to afford a college education. The affordability gap is evident from the findings of this study with the lower family income categories analyzed demonstrating an increasingly negative relationship with persistence when compared with the highest family income category of greater than $100,000, as income categories decrease. From the results of this study, frontloading grants may be a good idea. The low-income students who are receiving need-based aid in the beginning years of enrollment are not as likely to persist as those receiving the aid in the later years of college. Perhaps increasing the funding in early years, or frontloading would increase the likelihood of these students persisting to their third and fourth years of college, because most students who drop out of college tend to do so within the first two years, often due to fear of high debt accumulation. In this study subsidized loans were found to have a significant positive effect on year-to-year persistence and unsubsidized loans were found to have a positive effect on persisting to the fifth year of school. For many qualified high school graduates, the thought of relying on loans may discourage enrollment in a postsecondary institution, especially among the students from low-income families. If students view the debt involved with funding a college education as a better investment choice their decisions to enroll and persist are likely to increase.

This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent financial crisis had a profound effect on both public and private universities, which faced shrinking endowments, declining charitable contributions, and reductions in government support. Universities responded to these stresses in different ways. This volume presents new evidence on the nature of these responses, and on how the incentives and constraints facing different institutions affected their behavior. The studies in this volume explore how various practices at institutions of higher education, such as the drawdown of endowment resources, the awarding of financial aid, and spending on research, responded to the financial crisis. The studies examine universities as economic organizations that operate in a complex institutional and financial environment. The authors examine the role of endowments in university finances and the interaction of spending policies, asset allocation strategies, and investment opportunities. They demonstrate that universities’ behavior can be modeled using economic principles.

Download or read book Impact of Federal Student Aid on Completion Rates in the California Community Colleges System written by Lundon Creshett Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the overall impact of student aid, the level of impact of federal grants and loans, and identify any correlation between the price of attendance and federal student aid (FSA). Completion rates in the California Community Colleges (CCC) system was the dependent variable and measurement of impact. This nonexperimental quantitative study used existing data from cohorts in academic years 2000 through 2006 from Title IV institutions within the CCC system. Several findings emerged from this study including: 1. A significant population access student aid and completion rates increase with the average award amount; 2. completion is not supported when fewer students access student aid and affordability from lower fees causes an increase in the student population; 3. the population accessing federal grant aid provide accountability in completion, but not federal student loans; 4. students attending the CCC system access federal grants more, but there has been a gradual shift to federal loans; and 5. a statistically significant relationship between price of attendance and the average amount awarded through federal grants and loans positively impact completion rates. Since there is a dearth of knowledge on completion rates and accountability of FSA these findings are significant. As the costs associated with enrollment in higher education continue to rise the role of FSA has become an increasingly important topic of concern. Findings and recommendations from this study can be used as a tool for policymakers and educational leaders to make informed decisions about FSA funding. This analysis of accountability systems and affordability addresses equity in not only access, but also success in the CCC system.

Download or read book A Quasi-experimental Estimate of the Impact of Financial Aid on College-going written by Thomas J. Kane and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although state and federal governments heavily subsidize the price of college, estimates of the impact of these subsidies on college enrollment have not been well-identified. I use a regression discontinuity design to study the impact of the CalGrant program in California on college going. Eligibility requires students to meet minimum thresholds on three characteristics: income, assets and high school Grade Point Average. Because there are several dimensions of eligibility, the analysis allows for specification tests, estimating any discontinuities along a given dimension of eligibility, dependent upon whether one satisfied the other two dimensions of eligibility. The paper uses a novel data collection strategy to measure subsequent college enrollment for 150,000 financial aid applicants in 1998 and 1999. The results suggest large impacts (3 to 4 percentage points) of grant eligibility on college enrollment among financial aid applicants, with larger impacts on the choice of private four-year colleges in California.

Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.
