Reimagining financial aid to include asset accumulation for those currently disadvantaged has the
potential to meet one of our most critical challenges: equipping enough students to succeed in
college education to power future societal economic prosperity, at a cost individual students and

nature of student loans and proposes asset-based complements that could transform higher
education into an institution of equitable opportunity and a foundation of a revitalized American Dream.
