Looking Back to Move Forward: A History of Federal Financial Aid

Lumina Foundation and the Institute for Higher Education Policy invite you to view the first installment of a Mini-Documentary Film Series on the historical and political context of federal financial aid.

In partnership with IHEP, Lumina has produced several films which discuss the origins of some of the Title IV financial aid programs.  The films feature the historical perspectives of individuals who were directly involved in the policy discussions that led to the creation of these programs.  We hope you can join us for a viewing of the first two of the mini-films in this series and engage in a discussion with experts afterward about what we can learn from the history of these programs as we think about new models of student financial support moving forward.

The film screening will take place at the Ronald Reagan Building from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm EDT, immediately followed by a reception.  Refreshments will be served.
