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.
