Student Financial Aid and the College Enrollment Decision: The Effects of Public and Private Grants and Interest Subsidies.

Schwartz, J. Brad

Economics of Education Review, v4 n2 p129-44 1985

Publicly-provided grants have a significant, positive effect on high school seniors' decisions to enroll in college, particularly among lower income groups. Other types of student financial aid have no measurable effect, according to a study using a binomial logic model based on a multiperiod household utility maximization model. (PGD)
