More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This 1994-95 Postsecondary Education Financing Study, better known as the “How Students Pay” study, is the latest in an ongoing series of efforts to learn more about students attending Indiana colleges who are served by federal, state, and institutional/private financial aid programs. The study begins with a description of student costs and then describes five types of financial resources available to students to help them meet those costs. The five resources are parent contribution, student contribution, grant programs, loan programs, and work programs. Special attention is given to the way that each resource is distributed among students. Total resources (that is, all five types of resources, combined) are then compared to total cost, and the shortfall between total resources and total cost is noted. Finally, a special analysis provides a progress report on one of the Indiana State Commission for Higher Education’s state-level performance objectives. Under this performance objective, the Commission has sought to narrow the gap by which combined parent contribution and grants/scholarships fall short of total cost, for the poorest of students.

The analysis reports that progress is not being made. (VWC
