Promoting or Perturbing Access: An Event History Analysis of the Effects of Financial Aid on Latinos' Educational Attainment
Using event history analysis this study explores the effects of financial aid on Latino students' academic success from 1999-2006, measured here as likelihood of first departure. Much of the prior research on patterns of Latino students' receipt of aid has relied on cross-sectional data. This study further contributes to understandings of relationships among race/ethnicity, income, institutional sector financial aid, and academic success. Data come from a statewide student unit record system and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. |
