Student Access, Scholarship, and Loan Programs: Report of the Study Committee on Tuition and Other Student Costs for Master Plan Phase IV.

Following a detailed review of present tuition and financial aid policies, the Committee on Tuition and Other Student Costs focused on recommended changes in policy and the implication of such policies on the costs to students of access to higher education opportunities. The committee affirmed its belief that an important goal of the Board of Higher Education should be the "availability of educational opportunity without regard to financial status and the elimination of financial barriers to higher education." To obtain this goal, the objectives of student choice, student access, and student opportunity must be met. Sections two and three of this study summarize the recommendation of the committee. (Author)
