The Targeting and Packaging of Student Aid and Its Effect on Attrition.

Stampen, Jacob O.; Cabrera, Alberto F.

Economics of Education Review, v7 n1 p29-46 1988

Investigates three basic student financial aid issues in four-year colleges: the targeting of overall aid, aid packaging for different recipient groups, and financial aid's role in motivating persistence. Findings show that aid is distributed mainly to low-income students, compensates for low-income disadvantages, and encourages students' persistence. Includes six tables, 14 notes, 36 references, and two appendices tables. (MLH)
