Merit Aid to College Students.

Baum, Sandra R.; Schwartz, Saul

Economics of Education Review, v7 n1 p127-34 1988

Merit scholarships, an attempt to maintain the number and quality of students in the face of declining enrollments, are a bad idea for society and for individual institutions. Merit aid will assist students who would have attended college anyway and hurt needy students who might not be able to attend. Includes two tables, eight notes, and 11 references. (MLH)
