These proposals include graduation-contingent aid providing "incentives" for completion; creation of federal student aid block grants to reduce the federal government's role and provide states and institutions more flexibility in awarding student aid; elimination of aid for.students in remedial courses or programs; modification of the Pell Grant program to frontload grants for students in their first 2 years and limit eligibility by program length and type; relocation of vocational and technical programs to the Department of Labor; and use of federal aid as a cost containment device. The analysis suggests that completion incentives assume that factors influencing degree completion are primarily under the control of the student; that focusing aid at the state level through block grants could promote unequal treatment of students; and that eliminating aid for students in remedial courses could impact 13 percent of all undergraduates. The analysis concludes that all of the proposals appear to share a common goal of using student financial aid to address complex social issues and that implementation could seriously impede access to higher education for these students.

It focuses on those educational factors identified in the literature as having an important effect on postsecondary participation by minorities. The paper shows that the problem of minority participation is a far-reaching and complex one. At each of several critical junctures--high school graduation, college enrollment, college degree attainment, and selection of non-college alternatives--the data suggest that some number of at-risk disadvantaged youth are lost to the educational system and the labor market. Further, the paper suggests that, though the literature makes clear that the problem is a complex one, it is also reasonable to conclude that isolation and segregation of minority children, whether it be in communities, inner city schools, academic ability groups, or predominantly white colleges, has a pernicious effect on successful minority participation in higher education. The paper further argues that the earlier this isolation or segregation occurs, the more negative effects it appears to have on the postsecondary planning of minority youth. Eight figures appear in the text and an appendix offers five statistical tables. (Contains 49 footnotes.) (a)
