Financial Aid and Self-Reports by Disadvantaged Students: The Importance of Being Earnest.
Olivas, Michael A.
Research in Higher Education, v25 n3 p245-52 1986
A national survey of Hispanic financial aid recipients is reported, including student self-reports of income (theirs or their parents') and verified income figures. Findings indicate that students do not know very well how much they or their families earn, and that over half the students overestimated actual income. (Author/MLW)
