Educational Incentives.

- Abstract
Since 1948 there has been a rapid expansion in higher education enrollment and facilities in the U.S. This expansion was encouraged by nearly every segment of the American people. Their efforts were sustained by the faith that a college education would guarantee graduates success and greater income. It has been estimated that over 50 percent of high school graduates enroll in an institution of higher learning. For the purposes of this discussion educational incentives are defined as those mechanisms inherent or developed in society which encourage or stimulate people to participate in the post-secondary educational experience.
