The Affordability of Public Higher Education.
Mumper, Michael
Review of Higher Education, v16 n2 p157-80 Win 1993
A study of college affordability compared changes in family income, Pell grants, Stafford loans, and state grants with changes in the average costs of public two- and four-year colleges. It concluded that both sectors became more affordable to low- and middle-income families in the 1970s but less affordable in the 1980s. (Author/DB)
