Financial Needs and Access to Aid among Chinese Vocational High School Students
Yang, Po
Chinese Education and Society, v46 n4 p43-59 Jul-Aug 2013
This study analyzed 586 students from nine vocational high schools in three provinces in China. It found a substantial gap between the demand for and the supply of government financial aid. Moreover, correct student aid information and aid application was not equally distributed among various student groups. A financial aid application made a significant difference in access to aid. Finally, disadvantaged students got more aid when they received other kinds of financial support.
