Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance.

I am pleased to provide you with the Advisory Committee’s most recent report, entitled: Access Denied: Restoring the Nation’s Commitment to Equal Educational Opportunity. The report finds that low-income students’ access to college, especially four-year colleges and universities, is limited by high levels of unmet need, and that increasing numbers of low-income students arriving on the nation’s campuses over this decade will exacerbate this problem. The report suggests a set of federal policy priorities for addressing the problem.
