| Summary: | Abstract Public student funding can be designed either according to the welfare principle or the provision principle. An empirical comparison contracts two groups of European countries, each following one of these principles. It appears that countries applying the provision principle provide, on average, considerably larger parts of their student populations with public support and public support accounts for a larger share of the recipients’ total income. Students in these countries report (very) serious financial difficulties less often. However, with respect to participative equity, countries using the provision principle perform marginally worse than the countries in their peer group. |
