Keeping Public Colleges Affordable: A Study of Persistence in Indiana's Public Colleges and Universities

Abstract

This study used the "workable persistence model" to assess the effects of financial aid on persistence of full-time resident undergraduates within the Indiana State postsecondary system. The analysis provides support for state-provided, need-based financial aid programs, and finds that student financial aid is adequate to equalize persistence opportunity for diverse groups.
