Abstract | Recent headlines about spiraling college prices combined with congressional proposals to penalize colleges and universities that increase their tuitions much faster than the rate of inflation could lead one to conclude that America faces an unprecedented crisis in college affordability. Closer examination of what students actually pay for college, however, reveals a different story. In this article, the author warns that proposed restrictions on tuition growth would hurt lower-income students by reducing the revenue colleges use to fund grants and scholarships for needy students. She stresses that an increasing need-based aid is a more effective way to make college affordable for low-income students than is moderating tuition growth. (ERIC). |
