Abstract / Description
Educational funding is a topic of much focus given the impact school budgets have on instructional decisions and school programs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the funding received by Local Education Agencies (LEAs) from Section 8002 of the Program to determine how the amount received equates to the local property tax from the land assessment. In addition, comparisons were drawn as to how the amounts between LEAs equate within a state and across states. Through the use of...
Show moreEducational funding is a topic of much focus given the impact school budgets have on instructional decisions and school programs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the funding received by Local Education Agencies (LEAs) from Section 8002 of the Program to determine how the amount received equates to the local property tax from the land assessment. In addition, comparisons were drawn as to how the amounts between LEAs equate within a state and across states. Through the use of qualitative data received from the United States Department of Education regarding the amount paid to LEAs during fiscal years 2011 through 2015 as well projected property tax amounts calculated by the researcher, inequities were discovered between LEAs within states as well as across states. Significant deficiencies were discovered between projected property tax and the amount of impact aid received across most of the receiving LEAs. In addition, a large number of inequities were discovered between receiving LEAs across the same state with a significant number of inequities also occurring across LEAs in different states. These findings meant many LEAs had greatly reduced school district budgets which has a significant impact on the programs and services that can be funded for students.

FEDERAL FUNDING AND THE RISE IN UNIVERSITY TUITION COSTS.

Abstract / Description
Access to education is a central part of federal higher education policy, and federal grant and loan programs are in place to make college degrees more attainable for students. However, there is still controversy about whether there are unintended consequences of implementing and maintaining these programs, and whether they are effectively achieving the goal of increased accessibility. In order to answer questions about whether three specific types of federal aid cause higher tuition rates...
Show moreAccess to education is a central part of federal higher education policy, and federal grant and loan programs are in place to make college degrees more attainable for students. However, there is still controversy about whether there are unintended consequences of implementing and maintaining these programs, and whether they are effectively achieving the goal of increased accessibility. In order to answer questions about whether three specific types of federal aid cause higher tuition rates and whether these programs increase graduation rates, four ordinary least squares regression models were estimated. They include changes in both in-state and out-of-state tuition sticker prices, graduation rates, as well as changes in three types of federal aid, and other variables indicative of the value of a degree for four-year public universities in Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida for years 2001-2011. The regressions indicate a positive effect of Pell Grants on in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees, a positive effect of disbursed subsidized federal loans on the change in number of degrees awarded, and a positive effect of Pell Grants on graduation rates.

Show moreThe need for financial literacy among Americans has become a national topic of interest. Economists, financial professionals, educators, and government officials recognize there is an overall deficit of financial knowledge. More specifically, higher education administrators have become increasingly concerned with ensuring that financial literacy tools are available to college students. Students of today face higher tuition and education-related costs, are less likely to receive grant funding to assist with their educational expenses, and are more likely to be in debt, carrying higher student debt loads than previous generations. Further, students lack the financial knowledge needed to make sound financial decisions. Hence, there is a need for effective financial literacy programs at post-secondary institutions. The purpose of this dissertation in practice (DIP) is to design a comprehensive financial literacy program model for students attending large diverse higher education institutions similar to the University of Central Florida.

Abstract / Description
Using Bean and Metzner's conceptual framework related to non-traditional student attrition, the responsible use of Federal Pell Grants was studied by examining the retention and academic performance of college-credit seeking students in a public college in Florida that predominantly offered two year degree programs. Also analyzed were differences between Pell Grant recipients and non-recipients among various demographic categories. Chi-square tests of independence indicated that statistical...
Show moreUsing Bean and Metzner's conceptual framework related to non-traditional student attrition, the responsible use of Federal Pell Grants was studied by examining the retention and academic performance of college-credit seeking students in a public college in Florida that predominantly offered two year degree programs. Also analyzed were differences between Pell Grant recipients and non-recipients among various demographic categories. Chi-square tests of independence indicated that statistical significance existed between Pell Grant recipients and non-recipients in retention rates from fall to spring terms, as well as in the demographic variables of academic performance, gender, ethnicity, age group, residency, and credit hours achieved. Only the variable of ethnicity showed a medium practical effect size, with all the other variables indicating a small to no practical effect size.
