Affordability and financial aid
What does it mean for college to be affordable? And what are the best ways for state leaders and colleges to make a difference?
SREB’s Student Success Advisory Council explored measures of affordability in March 2022 on proven, promising and innovative strategies to:
- Lower the burden of college costs for low- and middle-income students.
- Inform students and families about the true costs of college and the value of getting a degree. Guide students toward degree paths of value that align with their skills and interests.
- Support students so they complete their degrees at a faster rate.
