Wealth Neutrality in Higher Education: The Effects of Student Grants.

Schwartz, J. Brad

Economics of Education Review, v5 n2 p107-17 1986

Using High School and Beyond longitudinal data for 1980, this paper shows that government subsidized student aid substantially improved access to higher education for low income individuals. The analysis also shows that wealth neutrality (equal probability of college attendance across all incomes) was not achieved. (10 references) (MLH)
