Lundy, Valerie Cyrina – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Although access to a postsecondary education has increased exponentially since 1970, access to a bachelor's degree has not grown as swiftly.

Kim, Dongbin; Otts, Cindy – Journal of Higher Education, 2010
Much of the focus of research on the impact of financial aid (debt in particular) has focused on undergraduate students.

Glocker, Daniela – Economics of Education Review, 2011
In this paper I evaluate the effect of student aid on the success of academic studies. I focus on two dimensions, the duration of study and the probability of actually graduating with a degree.

Butler, Jon – National Academy for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (NJ1), 2009
What is a PhD? People answer this question too often by succumbing to the bureaucratic lure. They describe formal processes, "outcomes", time to degree, funding, training in teaching--indeed, almost everything except central intellectual attraction and personal focus of the PhD enterprise: deep study. Certainly in United States PhD programs, the…
