Explanation
(This amendment provides funding to support a comprehensive study that will examine, among other things, how Virginia families finance their children's education at public and private colleges in the Commonwealth; the extent to which students and families rely on savings, additional work, loans, or other funding mechanisms to cover college costs; perceived barriers to applying for student financial aid; and comparative information about available family resources for students attending public versus private, nonprofit institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth.)
