A film series documenting the policy and the political origins of federal financial aid programs
To understand the current state of federal student aid, it’s important to understand its origins. In six short chapters, Looking Back to Move Forward explores the 60-year history of federal student aid programs and the historical perspectives of those involved in their creation and evolution.
Each chapter features a short film, an expanded history and timeline of events, and a comprehensive viewing guide.
