Financing College Tuition: Government Policies and Educational Priorities

By Marvin H. Kosters

Book Overview

This is a timely and essential look at the rising cost of college tuition, where economist Marvin H. Kosters examines federal aid, tax credits, public subsidies, and other education policy initiatives, weighing how families, students, and taxpayers can best finance a degree that remains the key to higher wages and living standards as enrollment climbs and affordability slips further out of reach.

A college education has been the key to higher real wages and living standards. But as college enrollment has increased, so has the difficulty in paying for higher education.
