Perna, Laura W.; Fester, Rachel; Walsh, Erin
Journal of Student Financial Aid, v40 n1 p6-16 2010
Despite the substantial size of the population, relatively little research has focused on the status and experiences of undergraduate parents. Using descriptive analyses of data from the NPSAS:04, this study provides a starting point for campus administrators, public policymakers, and educational researchers who seek to identify ways to better understand the characteristics of this population. (Contains 4 tables.)
