This document discusses alternative tuition pricing arrangements in higher education. Reference is made to National Commission on Financing Postsecondary Education generalizations that would enable policymakers to anticipate the likely consequences of their decisions. These generalizations suggest: (1) aid to reduce tuition will accomplish less in improving access that the same amount applied to student grants awarded on the basis of financial need; (2) increases in the price the student must pay result in decreases in enrollment; decreases in price result in increases in enrollment; (3) increased spending for student grants would result in proportionately larger increases in enrollment in private colleges than in the public; (4) expanding student access through increased student aid would require institutions to seek supplemental financial assistance to meet additional costs.
