In this introduction to the special issue, the guest editors discuss the conceptual framework for the issue and for the Assets and Education Symposium, a March 2012 conference that generated early drafts of the contributions. Cosponsored by the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare and CSD, the symposium explored the role of savings and asset holding in post-secondary educational achievement. Many of the original conference papers are accessible in the center’s online collection.
