Minority aid to public colleges drops 12 percent study says
Washington AP reports that minority students receiving financial aid to attend public colleges fell 12.4 percent from 1981-82 to 1983-84, prompting calls to boost aid rather than cut it. Jacob Stampen of the University of Wisconsin led the study for the state colleges association. Earlier, a separate study found black high school graduates entering college declined 11 percent between 1975 and 1981.
