Download or read book The Influence of Aid Awards on the Educational Decisions of Applicants for Freshmen Year Financial Aid at Oregon State University written by Charles Robards Fields and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose This study was conducted to investigate the influence that awards of financial aid have on the educational decisions and academic achievement of applicants for freshman year financial aid at Oregon State University. The study was primarily concerned with the effectiveness of financial aid in assisting students to enroll and become established in college. Thus, students were followed only to the point where they returned or failed to return for the sophomore year. Design The design of the study was twofold. First, the 2801 applicants for freshman year financial aid at OSU for the 1969-1970 and 1970-1971 academic years were classified as Aid Recipients (N=1354) and Non-Recipients (N=1447), and were compared with a systematic sample of Non-Applicants (N=742) in terms of 1) matriculation rates, 2) withdrawal rates, 3) suspension rates, 4) freshman year GPA, 5) number of credit hours completed, and 6) return rates for the sophomore year. For the second part of the study, the Aid Recipient group was sub-grouped according to the type and amount of aid awarded and these sub-groups were compared in terms of the six variables above. Data for each of the years under study were analyzed separately to permit comparisons between years. By controlling the variables of sex, age and scholastic aptitude and achievement, conclusions regarding the effects of aid awards were drawn. Scholastic aptitude and achievement were controlled in the study by using multiple regression equations which were generated to predict freshman year GPA's for each student. The resulting predicted GPA was used as a covariate in testing the hypotheses concerned with academic achievement. Several statistical models were employed to test the hypotheses regarding differences among the groups studied. Aid Recipients, Non-Recipients and Non-Applicants were compared using chi-square analysis and analysis of variance. Multi-variate discriminant analysis and least-squares analysis of covariance were conducted to compare Aid Recipients who were classified by the type and amount of aid awarded. Conclusions When the students who applied for financial aid were grouped into the categories of Aid Recipients and Non-Recipients, and compared to a sample of Non-Applicants, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. Awards of aid are effective in increasing the matriculation rates of applicants for freshman year financial aid at Oregon State University. 2. Aid Applicants have higher predicted GPA's and have higher levels of academic achievement at OSU during the freshman year than do Non-Applicants. 3. Awards of aid do not affect the withdrawal rates, suspension rates, freshman year GPA, number of credit hours completed, or return rates for the sophomore year of applicants for freshman year financial aid. When the students in the Aid Recipient category were subgrouped according to the type and amount of aid awarded, and these sub-groups were compared, the following conclusions were drawn: 4. The type of aid awarded to Aid Recipients does not affect their matriculation rates, withdrawal rates, suspension rates, freshman year GPA, number of credit hours completed, or return rates for the sophomore year. 5. The amount of aid awarded to Aid Recipients does not affect their matriculation rates, withdrawal rates, suspension rates, freshman year GPA, number of credit hours completed, or return rates for the sophomore year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student aid in higher education has recently become a hot-button issue. Parents trying to pay for their children's education, college administrators competing for students, and even President Bill Clinton, whose recently proposed tax breaks for college would change sharply the federal government's financial commitment to higher education, have staked a claim in its resolution. In The Student Aid Game, Michael McPherson and Morton Owen Schapiro explain how both colleges and governments are struggling to cope with a rapidly changing marketplace, and show how sound policies can help preserve the strengths and remedy some emerging weaknesses of American higher education. McPherson and Schapiro offer a detailed look at how undergraduate education is financed in the United States, highlighting differences across sectors and for students of differing family backgrounds. They review the implications of recent financing trends for access to and choice of undergraduate college and gauge the implications of these national trends for the future of college opportunity. The authors examine how student aid fits into college budgets, how aid and pricing decisions are shaped by government higher education policies, and how competition has radically reshaped the way colleges think about the strategic role of student aid. Of particular interest is the issue of merit aid. McPherson and Schapiro consider the attractions and pitfalls of merit aid from the viewpoint of students, institutions, and society. The Student Aid Game concludes with an examination of policy options for both government and individual institutions. McPherson and Schapiro argue that the federal government needs to keep its attention focused on providing access to college for needy students, while colleges themselves need to constrain their search for strategic advantage by sticking to aid and admission policies they are willing to articulate and defend publicly.
