Measuring the Impact of Income and Financial Aid Offers on College Enrollment Decisions.
Braunstein, Andrew; McGrath, Michael; Pescatrice, Donn
Research in Higher Education, v40 n3 p247-59 Jun 1999
A study analyzed demographic, socioeconomic, and financial factors in enrollment behavior of accepted applicants to Iona College (New York). Financial aid had a positive impact on enrollment decisions (excepting upper-income applicants): for every $1,000 increase offered, probability of enrollment increased 1.1 to 2.5%. Work-study was not influential unless packaged with other aid forms. (Author/MSE)
