Where Financial Aid Began: Partnering with Campuses and States (Viewing Guide)
Published May 2015
The federal government has historically leveraged funds for both states and colleges to expand access and opportunity to higher education. Where Financial Aid Began: Partnering with Campuses and States documents a history of these partnerships and the policies that shaped them—from the introduction of the original campus based programs and state partnerships through their growth or decline over the years. The federal programs covered in this 10-minute film all require a monetary match from states and colleges, thereby expanding the reach of federal financial aid. To complement the film, the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) has developed a viewing guide that provides a historical look at these partnerships.
