There is near universal concern about college affordability and student loan debt, and experts agree that these issues hurt students’ ability to get to and through college. Policy changes at the federal, state, or even college level can help bring college costs within students’ reach, but the complexity of financial aid makes it difficult to understand how students of interest are affected and which policy changes could most help.
