In Financing a College Education, 15 prominent policy analysts and higher education specialists describe how student costs at U.S. postsecondary institutions are met, why and how student aid policy and practice have changed over the last few years, and what enhancements to current programs would make the system more equitable. The book's first part describes the massive and unwieldy--but vitally important--system of federal, state, private, and institutional financial aid for students. The second part discusses controversial student aid issues that are currently high on the national agenda; in particular, the shift away from ensuring access and toward making college more affordable for students from middle-class families.
