Abstract

With a focus on the need to expand access to education, this chapter presents the cases of Lumni, Vittana, and Kiva organizations which offer alternative forms of financial aid. The author begins by considering the evolution of private, public, and for-profit models of higher education in America. He then describes financial aid trends internationally, particularly related to increased dependence on loans and newer alternatives including income-contingent loans and human capital contracts. Within this context, Berg considers three specific ventures, their histories, organizational structures, successes, challenges, and future directions.
