Thesis (Ed.D.)--Harvard University, 2007.

This dissertation is composed of three papers centering around the Government-subsidized Student Loan Scheme (GSSLS hereafter) for college students in China which was launched in 1999. Paper I is a comparative study of student loan programs for higher education institutions in the U.S., Australia and China. It provides an overview of the loan programs in the US and Australia, including their design, implementation, problems, as well as the measures that have been adopted to address these problems. Based on the overview, this paper offers some recommendations in the last section for revising this program in the hope that it will reach out to more needy students.

520 $a This dissertation is composed of three papers centering around the Government-subsidized Student Loan Scheme (GSSLS hereafter) for college students in China which was launched in 1999. Paper I is a comparative study of student loan programs for higher education institutions in the U.S., Australia and China. It provides an overview of the loan programs in the US and Australia, including their design, implementation, problems, as well as the measures that have been adopted to address these problems. Based on the overview, this paper offers some recommendations in the last section for revising this program in the hope that it will reach out to more needy students.
520 $a Using original dataset collected at one Chinese university and adopting a difference-in-differences research design, paper II draws causal inferences regarding the effect of the GSSLS. Specifically, this study found that this program enables needy students to spend 528 Yuan more on food for one academic year on average and also enables them to work 26 hours less on average for one academic year. In order for the program to have greater impact on these students' overall quality of life, policy-makers will have to increase the maximum amount of loan needy students are allowed to take so that they could increase their expenditure on educational resources and their anxiety about their financial situation could be appeased to a certain extent. Ideally, the loan program should be effective in helping needy students improve their academic achievement, and there is still a long way to go before this policy can have positive impact in this aspect.
520 $a Paper III focuses on students' attitudes towards loans and whether their attitudes differ between male and female students, between urban and rural student, and between students from high and low socioeconomic status. Further, different aspects of the implementation of the program are examined, including the dissemination of the information on this program, the application process, and the importance and effect of the program. Chinese college students seem to have a rather favorable attitude toward loans. However, they do seem to be rather cautious about taking loans.
