Who Qualifies For Financial Aid?

Most students qualify for some kind of aid. Even students whose parents make a lot of money and have a lot of assets often qualify are able to get scholarships or grants.

Students with very low incomes almost always get a range of financial incentives. Poorer students can get Pell Grants of up to $5000, need based aid from their institutions of higher learning, state based grants, work-study grants, and low interest loans.

Middle class students also qualify for financial aid. They too can get grants from their states and from their colleges or universities. Other forms of aid for middle class students include loans and work study programs.

A growing body of evidence finds that policy reaction functions vary substantially over different periods in the United States. In light of this evidence of regime shifts, which is reviewed in Section 1, it is surprising that there is little formal modeling of environments where ongoing regime change is stochastic, and the objects subject to change are parameters determining how the economy feeds back to policy choice.
