| Abstract: | This paper uses the 1987 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study to compare five alternative approaches for assessing the
influence of student aid on within-year persistence by traditional college-age students enrolled in four-year colleges. Three
conclusions were drawn from the research. First, models that included tuition charges better predicted within-year persistence
than models that did not include this independent variable. Second, the use of multiple approaches for measuring the influence
of student aid provided more insight into the ways student aid policies influence persistence than any single approach. Third,
tuition charges had a consistent negative influence on persistence. |
