A Primer on Economics for Financial Aid Professionals

Order E-Reader Version

This e-book will familiarize readers with basic economic concepts relevant to understanding college enrollment and financial aid. It also analyzes the need analysis system from an economic perspective, focusing on the equity and logic of the formula's components. Like the 1996 and 2004 editions, this fully updated primer can help those involved in administering financial aid—federal, state, institutional, or other—better understand the work they are doing, use sound judgment, and advocate for constructive modifications of the need analysis system.
