Financial Aid Practices That Support Low- and Moderate-Income Student Access and Success
Almost half of college-qualified low- and moderate-income high school graduates face financial barriers that prevent them from enrolling in four-year colleges and for those students who do enroll, they have poor rates of completion. This forum discussed promising practices that support low- and moderate-income student access to and subsequent success in postsecondary education. Panelists also discussed recommendations for improvement to the financial aid system.
