- Title
MODELING THE ALLOCATION OF GRADUATE STUDENT FINANCIAL AID.
- Authors
Anderson, Evan E.; Chung-ting Shueh
- Abstract
Universities have always competed with one another for the relatively small number of highly qualified students interested in graduate education. This competition has been intensified recently by adverse demographic trends. This paper is concerned with the use of financial aid awards as a means of competition and with allocation of awards so that enrollments are maximized while satisfying academic standards and budget constraints. It also considers the randomness of actual aid disbursements and develops models of incremental aid allocation that increase enrollments but are within tolerance levels for budget overruns.
