Low-Income Urban High School Students' Use of the Internet to Access Financial Aid
Venegas, Kristan M.
Journal of Student Financial Aid, v36 n3 p4-15 2006
This article focuses on the Web-based resources available to low-income students as they build their perceptions, make their decisions, and engage in financial aid activities. Data are gathered from the results of six focus groups with low-income high school students attending urban high schools. Findings suggest that low-income students do have access to computers but lack the knowledge and support needed to navigate the financial aid resources available on-line. (Contains 1 table.)
