Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, millions of American families struggle with the expense of higher education. For the past fifty years, the U.S. government has helped students and families pay for college; but with the entire domestic policy agenda in flux, federal aid to education hangs in the balance. This book analyzes government policies for helping students pay for education beyond high school. It is being published at a time when aid to education is a prominent issue in battles over the federal budget and policymakers are debating the need for and effectiveness of federal student assistance programs. Starting with the post-World War II GI Bill, the book reviews the 50-year history of federal student aid legislation, assesses the results, and identifies trends and problems that cloud the future of this critically important national effort. The authors draw on the thinking of the country's top experts in examining the rationale and structure of the student aid system and how it might more effectively expand college opportunities while ensuring educational quality. Their analysis encourages policymakers to consider the multiple objectives of government aid—not just getting more students into college, but promoting student success and degree completion. The book offers a framework for future policy debates aimed at improving a system vital to America's economic future and its continued promise of opportunity.

Book excerpt: Covering all forms of financial assistance to students--gifts, loans, and work--this first comprehensive book on the subject takes a hard look at what is going on in American colleges and universities. The twenty-eight original essays, written for the volume, are especially timely for two reasons: first, institutions of higher education, both public and private, have a heightened interest in institutional financial support from all sources, including that available from student tuition (and thus indirectly from student financial-aid sources); and second, state and federal agencies, especially Congress, are reviewing and revising the aid programs which they sponsor (a matter of grave concern to institutions which depend on such funds for a substantial portion of their incomes). Divided into five parts, the work covers the philosophy and history of financial aid to students in American universities and colleges, the various programs currently in force, the organization and administration of student financial assistance, professional careers open to advisors, counselors, and administrators, and an overview summing up the ideas and recommendations of the distinguished professionals who have contributed to the volume. Though addressed primarily to administrators and to students of higher education, the book should be read by policy-makers--by college and university presidents and deans, by trustees, and by state and federal legislators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is by far the best study that I know of on community colleges. It comes at a critical time in the history of these institutions. It is carefully reasoned, beautifully written, and sound in its conclusions."—Howard R. Bowen; Professor of Economics and Education, Claremont Graduate School "...and excellent piece of work....Its quality is high and the book is significant. Its significance stems from the fact that it deals with an area of higher education not yet explored by other writings."—Earl F. Cheit; Dean, Schools of Business Administration; University of California, Berkeley "...a great job of describing and clarifying the issues....The book should become 'required reading' for our field...a very fine piece of work that will be a valuable tool for educators, students, and policy-makers."—Roger Yarrington; Vice President, Research and Development, American Association of Community and Junior Colleges "...a thorough job of compiling the pertinent data; of identifying key questions; and of focusing upon central, rather than tangential, issues....Leaders and policy-makers in community colleges and in governmental positions will undoubtedly find the work an invaluable resource."—Bill J.
