The End of Enrollment-Based Subsidies

The End of Enrollment-Based Subsidies is a policy-defining work that challenges one of the most entrenched assumptions in American education: that public funds should be paid at enrollment rather than upon results.

For decades, governments have subsidized education based on intent-seat-time, attendance, and institutional approval-while students and taxpayers absorb the risk of failure. The result has been rising costs, stagnant completion rates, mounting debt, and persistent workforce shortages.

This book proposes a fundamentally different model.

Authored by Di Tran, founder of Di Tran University - The College of Humanization, this work introduces a graduate-based, employment-verified reimbursement framework in which public funds are released only after independently documented outcomes such as program completion, licensure, employment, or sustained workforce participation.

Grounded in existing federal and state law-and designed for the age of AI and real-time data-this book is not a manifesto. It is a policy manual.

• A clear diagnosis of why enrollment-based subsidies are structurally unsustainable

• A step-by-step framework for replacing enrollment payments with outcome-based reimbursement

• Model legislative language usable by any state or city

• Guidance for governors, legislators, agencies, and workforce boards

• An accountability model that removes accreditation as a funding gatekeeper without lowering standards

• A human-centered approach that restores dignity, equity, and taxpayer trust

This book is written for:

• Governors and legislators

• Education and workforce agencies

• Policy advisors and researchers

• Educators and institutional leaders

• Adult learners, parents, and advocates

The End of Enrollment-Based Subsidies argues that the future of education funding is not institutional permission, but documented human contribution.

No public funds move without documented results.
