Abstract
The “great society” financial aid programs were highly successful in raising the curve of minority participation. In the late ’70s, however, the curve flattened and has now begun to descend as college costs outpace student financial aid. The most promising strategy for overcoming the current decline in the rate of minority participation involves improving academic performance among low income and minority students.Keywords
