| Abstract | This report analyzes increases in Minnesota's higher education tuition since the early 1970s, compares national and Minnesota tuition rates and trends, reviews the state's goals for federal Pell grants and how state grant money is allocated to individuals, determines whether students face undue barriers in applying for state grants, and considers why middle-income and upper-income students receive grants in addition to lower-income students. The report's findings show that tuition has risen more than inflation since 1981 and is higher than national averages. Tuition has risen at public institutions primarily because of a shift in Minnesota's higher education funding policy, resulting in relatively less reliance on state appropriations and more on tuition revenues. At private colleges, the increase has resulted mainly from a rise in instructional spending in excess of inflation. The state grant program, operating in conjunction with the federal Pell grant program, is generally working as envisioned and is providing aid primarily to students from families whose incomes are below the state median. Recommendations are offered to Minnesota's Higher Education Coordinating Board. Appendices provide enrollment data for fall 1992, data on University of Minnesota undergraduate resident tuition and fees from 1971 to 1993, and data on state grants and recipients. (JDD) |
