Brown, Catherine; Wong, Nancy – Institute for College Access & Success, 2020
High tuition makes headlines and may dissuade students from pursuing college or excluding what appear to be high-cost colleges. However, a college's "sticker price" can be misleading because it does not reflect any grant or scholarship aid that reduces the price students actually pay. As the costs of attending college have risen, the…

Green-Weir, Robbya R.; Anderson, David; Carpenter, Robert – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2021

Historically, there has been inconsistent funding for soft skill training in the U.S. for…
