Abstract | Few studies examine whether financial aid affects college retention. This paper uses University of Oregon data to examine financial aid's affect on retention net of uniquely detailed enrollee attributes and conditioned on unobserved enrollee attributes identified by jointly modeling retention and enrollment. The results show that need- and merit-based aid significantly increase retention, but that these effects are biased by selection and vary with need and ability. This analysis is supplemented using survey data on non-retainees that indicate the decision to drop out depends significantly an financial aid. Overall, the findings suggest that increasing reliance on unsubsidized and merit-based aid by government and universities has lowered the relative graduation rates of needy students. (DIPF/Orig.). |
