States' Spending on Student Aid Leveled Off in 1995-96, a Survey Finds.

Schmidt, Peter

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n31 pA33 Apr 11 1997

In 1995-96, a leveling of state spending on student financial aid ended a five-year period of rapid growth. Most of the aid is in the form of need-based grants to undergraduates. Four states slashed need-based aid expenditures by over 10%, and 10 increased it by over 10%. Reductions are attributed to competition for funds. (MSE)
