Simulating the Longitudinal Effects of Changes in Financial Aid on Student Departure from College.

DesJardins, Stephen L.; Ahlburg, Dennis A.; McCall, Brian P.

Journal of Human Resources, v37 n3 p653-79 Sum 2002

Estimates from a hazard model of college student departure for 3,975 students simulated how financial aid changes affect withdrawal decisions. Changing loans to scholarships has a large impact and front-loading aid (giving gift aid for the first 2 years) a modest impact on retention. Financial aid may represent more to students than its dollar value. (Contains 64 references.) (SK)
