More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The main purpose of this study was to examine how students and their families finance a year of postsecondary education. Included is a detailed accounting for the 1969-70 academic year of the resources and expenditures of unmarried full-time students, most of whom were college sophomores. Major emphasis was placed in the instutitional practice of packaging grants, loans, and jobs, and the relationship of student indebtedness to persistence in college and plans for continuing education on the undergraduate and graduate levels. Analysis of the data revealed that parents provided most (44%) of the student’s income. Students themselves provided 35% of this income: 15% from employment during the school year and 20% from other sources such as personal assets, savings from summer employment, and income tax refunds. Eleven percent of the students income came from scholarships and grants and 10% from loans. Comparisons are made in the study by sex, race, and type of institution attended.
