520 |a Patterns of government subsidies to higher education in five European countries are considered in order to provide a comparative perspective for U.S. policy-makers. Attention is focused on patterns of subsidizing both institutions and students for the five countries: France, West Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The subsidies are assessed in light of stated government objectives, and especially the objectives of efficiency and equity. Profiles of the countries includes information on: financing public and private institutions, free education vs. tuition and fee charges, organizational body responsible for budget development; sources of university income; types of student aid and their distribution; maximum award per student, December 1974; tax relief or family allowances for students' parents; indirect student aid (housing, food subsidies, health); interest rate on loans; and loan repayment. Implications of alternative patterns of subsidy are analyzed in depth, with attention to the optimum levels of subsidy, the case for aiding students by means of grants, whether the subsidy system creates equality of educational opportunity, and how costs of education should be shared between high and low income taxpayers. An ideal student aid package is proposed. (SW)
