Download or read book The Student Aid Game written by Michael S. McPherson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-03 with total page 176 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: The National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) is a comprehensive nationwide study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics to determine how students and their families pay for postsecondary education and to describe some demographic and other characteristics of those enrolled. The study is based on a nationally representative sample of students in postsecondary education, including undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional students at public and private institutions, whether less-than-two-year, two-year, or four-year. Data were available on about 82,000 students, and parents of 18,000 students were selected for a telephone interview. This discussion of survey methodology focuses on: (1) study objectives and design; (2) institution sampling and enlistment; (3) student and parent sampling; (4) institutional records data collection; (5) student and parent surveys; (6) file creation and data analysis; (7) weights and variance estimation; (8) the 1993 NPSAS field test; and (9) a summary and recommendations for survey improvement. Six appendixes provide further details about methodology, including a formulation of the generalized rating model. (Contains 17 figures and 56 tables.) (SLD)

Ashby and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To assist Congress as it prepares for the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, a study was undertaken of Title IV aid programs and higher education tax provisions designed to assist students and families. Focusing on the HOPE and Lifetime Learning tax credits. Data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study and other databases were used. In the 1999-2000 academic year, it is estimated that the Lifetime Learning and HOPE tax credits provided more than 4 in 10 undergraduate students with benefits that equaled a varying share of tuition and fees charged and Title IV aid received. Some students families had incomes too high to use the credits; others had tax liabilities too low to use the credits or to use the credits to the maximum. Among all dependent students who received the HOPE credit, it equaled, on average, about 20% of the tuition and fees, and for independent students, the HOPE credit equaled about 30% of tuition and fees. Taken together, Title IV student aid and higher education tax credits now assist more than 70% of undergraduate students and families in paying for postsecondary education. Five appendixes contain details about methodology and research, comments from government agencies, and a list of contacts and staff at the General Accounting Office. (Contains 14 tables, 13 figures, and 19 references.) (SLD).

But inthe past decade, that interplay has been complicated by risingcollege costs, increased consumerism, and the use of financial aidto meet both student needs and campus enrollment goals.
