On Tuesday, May 8, my colleague Matthew Chingos will moderate a discussion examining rising college tuition costs and policy solutions from a new report, “Beyond Need and Merit: Strengthening State Grant Programs.”
The report proposes moving away from the dichotomy between “need-based” and “merit-based” aid, and instead advocates for programs that integrate targeting students with financial need with appropriate expectations and support for college success. Three of the authors will discuss highlights from the report, followed by remarks from William E. “Brit” Kirwan, Chancellor of the University System of Maryland.
