On the conditions of enrollment fees and merged system in colleges and universities, how to identify poor students has turned into the core in student financial assistance and the focus on harmonious campus. Having engaged in student financial assistance for many years, the author finds that the previous procedures and systems to identify poor students have many defects and shortages in practice, which cannot objectively reflect and assess difficulty degrees of applicants. At present, there have a variety of ways to settle this problem, but there are no uniform standards or models with the lack of comparability. From current social economic conditions, a way which accords with reality and is operable enough is urgently needed so as to solve the problems emerging in the identification. This is also the preliminary work for the following student financial assistance. Therefore, the study identifying poor students has important practical significance and social value.This dissertation builds on the literatures concerning current procedures and systems about idenation of poor students.
