An Exploratory Study of the Factors Associated with Parental Saving for Postsecondary Education.
Hossler, Don; Vesper, Nick
Journal of Higher Education, v64 n2 p140-65 Mar-Apr 1993
Using longitudinal college student (n=2,497) and parent data and interviews of a subsample (n=60), a study examined factors associated with parental savings for students' postsecondary education. Results suggest that socioeconomic status, student educational aspirations, and the extent to which parents think they will need outside financial help influence family savings. (Author/MSE)
