Gates Scholarships: Philanthropy and Access to Higher Education.
Sjogren, Jane
Connection: New England's Journal of Higher Education and Economic Development, v15 n2 p42-43 Fall 2000
Describes selection of the first recipients of Gates Millennium Scholarships and examines philanthropy's role in overall spending on higher education and student aid. Asserts that while private efforts are important for the individual students they help, they have a negligible impact on access to higher education and cannot be counted on to express and support wider social goals.
