Merit, Need, and Student Self Selection: Is There Discretion in the Packaging of Aid at a Large Public University?

Singell, Larry D., Jr.

Economics of Education Review, v21 n5 p445-54 Oct 2002

Empirically models and tests role of merit and need in the offer, level, and packaging of non-need-based subsidized and unsubsidized aid at large public university. Finds that provision of each aid type depends on need, merit, and the discretion of financial aid office that adjusts aid package to account for the observed self-selection of student applicants.
