The Influence of Price Subsidies on Within-Year Persistence by Graduate Students.

St. John, Edward P.; Andrieu, Sandra Carlin

Higher Education, v29 n2 p143-68 Mar 1995

The 1987 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study was used to compare four alternative approaches for assessing the influence of price subsidies on within-year persistence by graduate students. Conclusions include tuition charge has a substantial negative influence on persistence; and comprehensive packages (grants, loans, plus assistantships) were the most effective means of subsidizing costs.
