CNN Money, March 2, 2017: What colleges are doing to recruit more low-income students

“Increasing socioeconomic diversity isn’t a brand new idea. Most Ivy League Colleges give very generous financial aid packages to their lowest income students. At Harvard, for example, any family earning less than $65,000 pays nothing. And a growing number of colleges no longer require applicants to submit their SAT or ACT scores, because they can be biased against students from low-income households. But previous efforts don’t go far enough, according to a recent study from The Equality of Opportunity Project. The share of the low-income students at elite colleges increased very little since 2000, and has declined at mid-tier institutions.”
