Abstract	Because governments are restricted in their possibilities to make investments in (higher) education, it is argued "that students must contribute more to the costs of their education". Increases of tuition fees are observed in many countries. "What happens to accessibility if tuition fees are increased critically depends on how the system of financial aid operates. In the economics literature, there is now a growing consensus that income-contingent loan schemes are the most efficient and most equitable form of financial support for students. This article reviews the arguments and empirical evidence in favour of this scheme and compares it with two alternatives: a mixture of loans and grants and a graduate tax. It also discusses reasons for government involvement in financial aid systems; the 'classical' system of a mixture of mortgage loans and income dependent grants; the graduate tax system; the income-contingent loan scheme and the arguments and evidence concerning this scheme; and a recent policy document on the future of student financial aid in the Netherlands".
