Drawing on best practices from international research, institutions that clarify financial aid, ease costs, and provide emergency support see better enrollment and retention of low-income students. For instance, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation report “Making College Affordable: Providing Low-Income Students with the Knowledge and Resources Needed to Pay for College” outlines strategies exactly like those Harishchandra Degree College employs.
