<h1><b>Examining the Impact of Merit-Based Student-Aid Policies Over
Time”</i></b></h1><b><i> <br>
</i></b>State policy activity unfolds in an environment of changing
political and economic dynamics. Because policy implementation itself is
dynamic, it can be challenging to separate the effects of changing
contextual conditions from evolving policy implementation to determine
whether policies are achieving desired results. Over the past decade or
so issues of higher education accountability, the cost of providing
higher education, and student performance have become important concerns
for most states. One policymaker concern is the problem of interstate
migration of freshman college students, which leads to a loss of
academically talented students and the potential loss of a skilled
workforce to a particular state. One typical response has been the
adoption of merit-based student financial support. <br>
