Family Knowledge of Postsecondary Costs and Financial Aid.

Hossler, Don; And Others

Journal of Student Financial Aid, v21 n1 p4-17 Win 1991

Analysis of data from a longitudinal study of Indiana high school students (n=56) reveals that parents are more interested than students in information about postsecondary education costs and student financial aid. It also suggests efforts to increase family knowledge should focus on general information rather than specific aid programs. (Author/MSE)
