The Influence of Student Aid on Within-Year Persistence by Traditional College-Age Students in Four-Year Colleges.

St. John, Edward P.; And Others

Research in Higher Education, v35 n4 p455-80 Aug 1994

A study compared approaches to assessing the influence of student financial aid on within-year persistence of traditional college students. Results indicated that models including tuition were better predictors of persistence, that use of multiple approaches provided more insight into policy's role, and that tuition charges had a consistent negative influence on persistence.
