Beyond Financial Aid: How Colleges Can Strengthen the Financial Stability of Low-Income Students and Improve Student Outcomes
Lumina Foundation
This report is a compendium of best practices for assisting low-income students. It highlights work that has been underway for years but has not always been implemented at scale, especially within institutions that enroll significant numbers of low-income students. This toolkit offers leaders five concrete strategies they can use in two ways to increase student success: (1) it can help determine how, and how well, their institutions are serving low-income students; and (2) it can help them devise and implement plans to improve, expand and better coordinate services for greater impact. The report is divided in three sections: (1) Five Strategies to Increase the Success of Low-Income Students; (2) BFA Institutional Self-Assessment Guide; and (3) BFA Implementation Guide. Two appendices are included.
Descriptors: College Students, Low Income Students, Paying for College, Educational Strategies, Educational Finance, Student Financial Aid, Student Needs, Financial Needs, College Administration, Partnerships in Education, Student Personnel Services, Academic Support Services, Educational Benefits, Nutrition, Transportation, Housing, Child Care, Identification, Self Evaluation (Groups)
