Need-blind college admissions, financial aid and student loan programs
研究了不考虑经济需求的录取政策与助学金体系如何影响经济困难学生的入学，发现现有联邦学生贷款项目加剧了高校间奖学金预算差距，阻碍了贫困生入学，并提出了一种补充性匹配贷款方案。
Abstract We investigate the impact of need-blind admission policy in conjunction with financial aid systems. We first show that for the need-blind admission policy to effectively promote the total enrollment of financially disadvantaged students, colleges should be able to make financial aid offers contingently on the student’s financial need level but not on their academic ability. Next, we argue that the existing federal student loan program inadvertently exacerbates the scholarship budget disparity between colleges, consequently impeding the enrollment of financially disadvantaged students. To address this problem, we deliberate on potential modifications to the student loan program and propose a supplementary matching loan scheme.
