Financing a College Education: How It Works, How
It's Changing
Jacqueline E. King.
Our chapter: "State Policy Response to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997."
Kristin D. Conklin and Joni E. Finney |
|
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 is the
largest single increase in federal funding for higher education since the GI Bill.
Conklin and Finney examine these new federal tax provisions designed to help middle
and upper-middle income families pay for college, including the Hope and Lifetime
Learning
tax credits. Their chapter explores the impact of this new law, including how students
in states with low tuition and/or generous financial aid programs will be affected.
Recommendations for state response are offered to encourage a new consensus on how
the state and federal governments can better share responsibility for meeting the
public purposes of educational opportunity.
Other topics discussed in the book include:
- how families pay for college
- the need-analysis system for student aid
- improving college success for low-income
students
- the politics of higher education policymaking
- undergraduate borrowing
- merit-based versus need-based award
