Hillman, Nicholas W.
Journal of Higher Education, v84 n6 p806-833 Nov-Dec 2013

This article reports on a study that found that the introduction of "no-loan" policies has positively impacted low-income enrollments, suggesting that this aid strategy may be an effective, though limited, way of increasing economic diversity on campus.
