| Abstract | The State of Alaska and many other states are concerned with the issue of public funding of private institutions. Alaska's State Tuition Equalization Program was ruled unconstitutional in 1976; currently there are no grants programs for students wanting to attend public and private institutions of higher education. The importance of federal and state programs affecting public and private institutions is discussed, with statistics from Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska, used as examples. A study was undertaken to determine how other states handle aid to private higher education and to review other types of aid in relation to Alaska law. Related data from published literature is mentioned (political, legal, and economic issues). States were polled to identify other state funding programs that would be legal in Alaska; 41 states responded, with 5 states indicating no aid for students in private colleges. A summary of the funding programs was presented to the President of Sheldon Jackson College. The programs that seemed most relevant under Alaska's constitution were those made directly to students in public or private institutions, and fell into two categories: need-based and achievement-based. Rationale statements from various colleges are listed. Six state programs (those of Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Wisconsin) and their constitutional provisions were reviewed. Recommendations include looking into New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grants Program, Oregon's Need Grant Program, Pennsylvania's Scholars in Education Program, New Jersey's Distinguished Scholars Program, and Oregon's Cash Award Program. Suggestions are made for ways to define terms and to draft and promote legislation. Appendices include a list of state programs of aid, a summary of constitutional provisions and legislative programs in key states, and reprints of the Oregon Need Grant and Cash Award Program. A table on state programs of aid to private education is included. (SM) |
