چکیده
Forty years ago, when the federal system of student loans and grants was born, providing the basis for today’s student financial aid system, about half of all recent high school graduates were enrolled in college. Today, more than two-thirds of those who complete high school enroll in two-year or four-year colleges within a year (NCES, 2012c, Table 234). While significant differences persist across demographic groups, we have made considerable progress in improving access to higher education. Since 1972, the percentage of adults ages 25 or older who have completed at least four years of college has increased from 12 percent to 31 percent (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012, Table A-2).1
