Students

Trending this year: With national attention focused on college affordability and completion, proposals were made both to alter the federal financial-aid system and to measure students’ progress more effectively. Enrollment appears to have tapered off after a decade-long surge, and the total supply of high-school graduates is expected to fall slightly in the next few years. Meanwhile, a group of organizations studying financial aid suggested that students automatically enter income-based repayment plans after graduation.
