Financial Aid and Student Enrollment
Jackson, Gregory A.
Journal of Higher Education, 49, 6, 548-74, Nov/Dec 78
Financial aid has historically rewarded accomplished students or assisted needy ones. Recent policies reflect a new goal: to increase college enrollment. The power of financial aid to change prospective students' minds is assessed in this study. It is found that most aid intended to attract new students would go to students who would have enrolled without aid. (Author/LBH)
