This book was released on 2013 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides data regarding state-funded expenditures for student financial aid and illustrates the extent of efforts made by the states to assist postsecondary students. Information in this report is based on academic year 2012-13 data from the 44th Annual NASSGAP survey. Highlights include: (1) In the 2012-13 academic year, the states awarded about $11.2 billion in total state funded student financial aid, an increase of about 1.3 percent in nominal terms, but a decrease of 0.6 percent in constant dollar terms from the $11.1 billion in aid awarded in 2011-12; (2) The majority of state aid (85 percent) remains in the form of grants. In 2012-13, almost 4.1 million grant awards were made representing about $9.6 billion in need and non-need-based grant aid. This represents an increase of about 2 percent from the $9.4 billion in grants awarded in 2011-12. Of the grant money awarded in 2012-13, 75 percent was need-based (up slightly from last year) and 25 percent was non-need-based; (3) Funding for undergraduate need-based grant aid increased nationwide from about $6.8 billion in 2011-12 to about $7.0 billion in 2012-13, an increase of about 3 percent in nominal terms; (4) Eight states (California, New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington, and North Carolina) collectively awarded about $5 billion in undergraduate need-based grant aid, accounting for about 70 percent of all aid of this type; and (5) States provided about $1.7 billion in nongrant student aid, including loans, loan assumptions, conditional grants, work-study, and tuition waivers, down almost 4 percent from last year. Loans and tuition waivers accounted for 76 percent of non-grant funds awarded. Most states reported state-funded undergraduate programs with a need component, however, four states reported no need based aid programs. Twenty-six states identified undergraduate programs which made awards based only on merit. Exclusively need-based aid constituted 48 percent of all aid to undergraduates, exclusively merit-based aid accounted for 19 percent, with the rest, 33 percent, accounted for by other programs and by programs with both need and merit components. The amount of undergraduate aid awarded in 2012-13 through programs with a merit component remained level at about $3.9 billion. This compares to $4.9 billion awarded to undergraduates through programs based only on need. South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia and Georgia provided the greatest amount of grant aid on a per capita basis. South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia provided the most undergraduate grant dollars compared to undergraduate full time equivalent enrollment. South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Vermont had the highest proportion of total expenditures for state-funded grants compared to State fiscal support for higher education.

Download or read book Improving Higher Education Results Through Performance based Funding an Anlysis i e Analysis of Initial Outcomes and Leader Perceptions of the 2012 Ohio 100 Percent Performance based Funding Policy written by Tye V. Minckler and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public universities face significant funding challenges as states continue to look for efficiencies or outright cuts. In addition, the call for accountability in higher education continues to grow as state lawmakers, policy analysts, and researchers voice concern that degree attainment has stagnated, is too low to support economic growth, and takes too long. Business and political leaders are also increasingly interested in developing higher education accountability in response to concerns by students and families over the rising cost of a degree. Together, these themes of accountability and cost control have resulted in dramatically different policy innovations in the form of performance-based funding in a growing number of states. However, these policies have thus far produced scant evidence of success. Furthermore, the potential unintended consequences of these policies seem large, including the risk of increased selectivity resulting in increased class-based inequality and the risk of decreased educational quality. Thus, the shift from basing state support on inputs to outputs could be much more than a simple accounting change. By stressing different priorities, the shift may ultimately alter the historic access mission of public higher education. Ohio created a new policy in 2012 that funds 100 percent of undergraduate higher education state appropriations to public universities on the basis of outcomes, the most aggressive policy of its kind in the nation. This study investigated the perceptions of 24 Ohio higher education leaders regarding this policy innovation and combined those responses with related performance metrics in order to synthesize a more comprehensive understanding of early impacts and implications, particularly as it pertains to outcomes, access, and education quality. The results of the investigation suggest that that retention has improved, access has decreased, and quality has been unaffected. University leaders were largely in favor of the policy and supported increased selectivity even in the face of declining enrollments. Although concerns remain regarding at-risk student support, the study suggests that a 100 percent performance-based policy may have positive benefits and achieve the intended objectives. It may also alter our conception of the broad access mission of higher education as access is traded for student success.
