Late-Life Learners at the University: The Donovan Scholars Program at Age Twenty-Five.

Danner, Deborah D.; And Others

Educational Gerontology, v19 n3 p217-39 Apr-May 1993

Of 453 Donovan Scholars (persons over 65 taking tuition-free college classes), 294 respondents indicated that, despite high satisfaction, few potential enrollees know about the program and only a small number of highly educated and personally supported individuals feel comfortable enrolling. Psychological barriers appear to need as much attention as financial ones. (SK)
