State Merit Scholarship Programs and Racial Inequality.

Author(s): Orfield, Gary; Cornwell, Christopher; Mustard, David B.; Binder, Melissa; Gandarton, Philip T.; St. John, Edward P. | Abstract: Unmet financial need – the gap between the costs of attending college and the resources available to students from their families and from all sources of financial aid – presents a major barrier to college for students from lower-income families. The federal Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance found that unmet need is a barrier both to students’ initial enrollment in college and to their ability to persist through and earn a degree.Also available at: http://civilrightsproject.ucla.edu
