Title:The role of Pell Grants in access, persistence and completion
Source:http://www.nasfaa.org/WorkArea/DownloadAsset.as...
Date:2012
Organization:National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA)
Short Description:This issue brief reviews the historical role of access in the student aid programs and how perceptions of the value and importance of access are shifting.
Annotation:The federal student aid programs were created to increase access to postsecondary education. Research demonstrating the benefits of higher education to individuals and society as a whole validates a long-standing tradition within this country of making education available to all sectors of the public. However, the emphasis on access has gradually given way to increased concerns with outcomes and expectations of successful completion. A changing viewpoint on who derives the greater benefit, the individual or the society, has shifted payment for the cost of education from a public investment to a greater individual responsibility. The growing deficit and increasing cost of the federal student aid programs has policymakers scrutinizing every taxpayer dollar spent on student aid to assess if these funds are being used efficiently and effectively. This fiscal austerity has raised questions whether grant funding for the sake of access alone is sustainable. These trends lead us to ask if we have entered an era in which degree completion, rather than access, is becoming a primary measure of success in student aid policy. Will completion become a key metric to ensure continued public support of higher education?
