This book was released on 1993-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the Panel on Quality Improvement in Student Financial Aid Programs examines the quality control of federal student financial aid programs covered by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and offers recommendations calling for sweeping revisions of the present system. The report explores: (1) the quality control practices employed by the Department of Education to measure the accuracy of eligibility of students for awards; and (2) the methods used by program managers, based on this information, to reduce errors. Part 1 describes the new philosophy of continuous improvement as well as Title IV student financial aid programs and the system for distributing the awards. Part 2 discusses the outcome of Department of Education activities to control, improve, and monitor the "quality of the award" in the current system. Among the topics addressed are the methodological and statistical integrity of current quality control studies, including the accuracy of estimates of national error rates; a review of the application forms and their instructions; and the potential for risk-based management of audit and review processes. Part 3 looks at the larger picture and recommends changes in the system that should more efficiently reduce the recurring problems identified in Part 2. Appendices include six papers addressing various aspects of student financial aid reform. (Contains over 60 references.) (GLR)

Download or read book Money Marbles Or Chalk written by Roland Keene and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Who Gets In and Why written by Jeffrey Selingo and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning higher education journalist and New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Selingo comes a revealing look from inside the admissions office—one that identifies surprising strategies that will aid in the college search. Getting into a top-ranked college has never seemed more impossible, with acceptance rates at some elite universities dipping into the single digits. In Who Gets In and Why, journalist and higher education expert Jeffrey Selingo dispels entrenched notions of how to compete and win at the admissions game, and reveals that teenagers and parents have much to gain by broadening their notion of what qualifies as a “good college.” Hint: it’s not all about the sticker on the car window. Selingo, who was embedded in three different admissions offices—a selective private university, a leading liberal arts college, and a flagship public campus—closely observed gatekeepers as they made their often agonizing and sometimes life-changing decisions. He also followed select students and their parents, and he traveled around the country meeting with high school counselors, marketers, behind-the-scenes consultants, and college rankers. While many have long believed that admissions is merit-based, rewarding the best students, Who Gets In and Why presents a more complicated truth, showing that “who gets in” is frequently more about the college’s agenda than the applicant. In a world where thousands of equally qualified students vie for a fixed number of spots at elite institutions, admissions officers often make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors—like diversity, money, and, ultimately, whether a student will enroll if accepted. One of the most insightful books ever about “getting in” and what higher education has become, Who Gets In and Why not only provides an unusually intimate look at how admissions decisions get made, but guides prospective students on how to honestly assess their strengths and match with the schools that will best serve their interests.

Book excerpt: Every parent wants the best for their child. That’s why they send them to college! But most parents struggle to pay for school and end up turning to student loans. That’s why the majority of graduates walk away with $35,000 in student loan debt and no clue what that debt will really cost them.1 Student loan debt doesn’t open doors for young adults—it closes them.

In Debt-Free Degree, Anthony ONeal teaches parents how to get their child through school without debt, even if they haven’t saved for it. He also shows parents: *How to prepare their child for college *Which classes to take in high school *How and when to take the ACT and SAT *The right way to do college visits *How to choose a major A college education is supposed to prepare a graduate for their future, not rob them of their paycheck and freedom for decades.
