Features: Although this book focuses on graduate tuition fees and financial aid policies, it fundamentally addresses the universal issue of cost-sharing, thereby actually encompassing three major issues in higher education finance: cost-sharing, efficiency, and scale. The two technical models proposed in the paper and some of its conclusions can be extended to undergraduate education, as well as high school and vocational education. Due to tax reasons, tuition fees and financial aid policies indirectly concern everyone. The language of the book is also not overly technical, making it generally suitable for all readers interested in tuition issues, including university teachers and students, parents of students, university administrators, education administrative departments, finance departments, and workers in scientific research funding institutions. It is particularly intended for critics in the field of tuition policies, as well as representatives and committee members who will participate in related legislative and inspection work.
