Commonwealth Policy Papers
The Commonwealth Policy Papers are a publication outlet for commentary & state-level public policy solutions. These papers, including short briefs & commentary, draft bills, and white papers, are developed by the statewide Commonwealth Policy Institute (CPI) think tank. These publications are housed under CPI, published and globally indexed from the University of Louisville's Institutional Repository in partnership with the Dept. Political Science.
CPI's mission is to enact the future of the commonwealth, for the commonwealth -- by serving policymakers through the creation of new tailored solutions to overcome challenges and seize new opportunity across Kentucky. Through it's principal members on the advisory board we are also open to serving businesses across the state, along with our university chapter network. Our publications here forming the Commonwealth Policy Papers were all developed through the work of our chapters and board as a public service, and are freely offered to the public.
Publications in CPP include short briefs, direct bill drafts for introduction, as well as white and green papers. CPP details the work of the think-tank which revolves around state government, also looking for new solutions at local and metro level and from an annual Congressional summit. Although this publication primarily deals with issues faced in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, certain policies may be universal and relevant to other states and commonwealths across the United States. For this reason, the CPI Think-Tank may advertise the Commonwealth Policy Papers to committees of other state governments and also to federal policy offices, in addition to the general public.

Journal of Student Financial Aid
The Journal of Student Financial Aid (JSFA) is a scholarly, peer-reviewed outlet featuring works of significance in all areas pertaining to the finance of higher education, especially student financial aid. Our mission is to bring scholarly work to bear on the practice and theory of providing financial assistance to students pursuing postsecondary education. We invite the submission of manuscripts that report original research findings; editorial opinions on policy issues; book reviews; and research in progress on promising practices or policies. We encourage submissions from diverse methodological and conceptual perspectives with implications for the practice of financial aid administration. Although the focus of the Journal has historically been on financial aid in the United States, we welcome the submission of comparative and international work.
History of the Journal
Thanks to the strong leadership of Dr. Robert Huff in the early years of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) in the late 1960s, the publication of the NASFAA Journal of Student Financial Aid was approved. His convincing rationale was one based on what most, well-respected organizations would agree to be essential to any group hoping to be seen as "professional" (i.e., the need for good, timely research as the basis for forming and refining effective policies). The first issue of the Journal was published in 1971.
In 2018, NASFAA decided that the mission of the Journal had become distinct from its own mission and goals and looked to move the Journal to a more academic setting. The Center for Economic Education at the University of Louisville became the official home of the Journal in 2019.
