Tuition Policy Review Committee

Connecticut is one of five states participating in a national project, Changing Direction: Integrating Higher Education Financial Aid and Financing Policy sponsored by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education and its partners, the State Higher Education Executive Officers and the Center for Policy and Analysis at the American Council on Education and funded by the Lumina Foundation.

The two-year project focuses on how legislators and other policymakers can improve financial aid and financing policy and practices to help more high school students go on to college and succeed. Connecticut's Board of Governors for Higher Education launched its activities in September 2002 with the appointment of a Tuition Policy Review Committee to evaluate current financing practices and the major drivers of college costs. As stated in the group's charge, the group's initial recommendations are due to the Board of Governors in January 2003.
