Colleges in the Age of Enrollment Management

Over the last several decades, there has been a revolution in the way that public and private four-year colleges recruit and aid students. For years, colleges used their financial aid resources to open their doors to the neediest students. But a powerful enrollment management industry has emerged to show colleges how they can use their institutional aid strategically in order to compete for the high-achieving and affluent students they most desire.
