The Influence of Prices on the Persistence of Adult Undergraduates.
St. John, Edward P.; Starkey, Johnny B.
Journal of Student Financial Aid, v25 n2 p7-17 Spr 1995
A study investigated the influence of tuition charges and financial aid packaging to adult undergraduate students on within-year persistence. Results indicated that adult undergraduates are more likely to be from disadvantaged backgrounds and more responsive to tuition rate than traditional college-age students, and that adults enrolled in public colleges are more sensitive to tuition than those in private colleges.
