Student Persistence in a Public Higher Education System: Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences.
Hu, Shouping; St. John, Edward P.
Journal of Higher Education, v72 n3 p265-86 May-Jun 2001
Examined effects of financial aid on within-year persistence by African Americans, Hispanics, and Whites enrolled in Indiana public higher education. Found that financial aid recipients persisted better than or as well as non-recipients within each racial/ethnic group. College grades and other college experience variables also had a substantial influence on the disparity in aggregate persistence rates for various groups. (EV)
