Abstract
As China’s higher education enters the popularization stage, the student financial aid work in colleges and universities has transformed from “security-oriented” aid to “development-oriented” aid. Against this background, the academic development of economically disadvantaged students has become a hot topic in society. This study aims to deeply explore the academic development dilemmas and multi-dimensional influencing factors faced by economically disadvantaged students in the new era. The research finds that the academic dilemmas of these students are not only reflected in the limited access to learning resources due to economic pressure, but also in comprehensive challenges such as potential differences in psychological capital and insufficient social integration. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen targeted financial aid, promote the comprehensive improvement of poor students’ academic abilities and their sustainable personal development, so as to provide theoretical references for colleges and universities to enhance the effectiveness of independent talent training in the new era.
