Chen, Rong; DesJardins, Stephen L.
Journal of Higher Education, v81 n2 p179-208 Mar-Apr 2010
This study focuses on the differences in college student dropout behavior among racial/ethnic groups. We employ event history methods and data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students (BPS) and National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS) surveys to investigate how financial aid may differentially influence dropout risks among these student groups. (Contains 5 tables.)
