At the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE), Ithaka S+R’s Elizabeth Pisacreta, Ini Umosen, and Jonathan Barefield will present preliminary data on states’ use of various types of industry-targeted financial aid. They will introduce the areas of focus of our case study, which will assess alignment between states’ financial aid portfolios and demand for high-opportunity occupations, explore how states develop and monitor targeted aid programs, and develop a framework to help states consider potential benefits and drawbacks of redirecting aid to targeted fields.
