Abstract: Since 1972, the State of North Carolina has funded a program of student financial assistance, called the North Carolina Contractual Scholarship Fund (NCCSF), for residents who attend North Carolina private colleges and universities. This study acts as an evaluation of the NCCSF with two purposes: (1) to determine whether the achieved outcomes are the intended of the program; and, (2) to examine NCCSF administrative operations to discover whether there are common practices among the institutions participating in the NCCSF and whether additional initiatives of self regulation are necessary. The evaluation framework contains eight outcome indicators addressing both enrollment and institutional demographics. Data from existing higher education statistics are used in the analysis of outcome indicators. Indicators of administrative process and practice are driven by seven common elements of financial aid administration found in federal Title IV student financial aid programs. These indicators are tested with data assembled by a field survey questionnaire. An action model for securing self-regulation goals is also presented.
