Excerpt from Mathematical Programming Models for Determining Freshman Scholarship Offers
The problem of determining scholarship offers for admitted freshman applicants with financial need (hereafter usually referred to as needy ad mits) is faced annually by student aid administrators at most colleges and universities throughout the country. The particular models described in this paper were developed to assist the administrators of the Student Aid Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; however, the results presented should be of more general interest and use.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents mathematical models to help universities develop effective financial aid policies for needy freshmen. The models consider factors like financial need, academic quality, and the availability of outside aid. The author argues that universities should aim to balance cost, yield, and quality when making scholarship offers. The models can be used to explore the trade-offs between these factors and find optimal policies that meet specific goals. The book provides a valuable tool for university administrators seeking to allocate scholarship funds fairly and effectively. By considering the complex relationships between financial need, academic merit, and university resources, the models in this book offer a data-driven approach to scholarship policy that can help ensure equitable access to higher education.
