  "Exploring the Impact of Financial Aid on Community College Students"

Despite the large and continually-emerging body of higher education 
research with financial aid as a focal point, few studies address the 
impact of financial aid on students who first matriculate in the two- 
and less than two-year sector. This quantitative study, using 
logistic regression, builds on the existing financial aid and 
persistence research in that it examines the relative contribution of 
financial aid awards to sub-baccalaureate persistence and associate 
degree or certificate attainment. From a social justice viewpoint, it 
is important to determine how financial resources and policies that 
were created for traditional-age students attending four-year 
institutions translate to educational outcomes for non-traditional 
students in an environment in which postsecondary educational 
attainment and skill development have become a pre-requisite for 
getting and remaining above the poverty line.  Therefore, it is 
crucial to determine how financial aid programs equalize educational 
opportunity in the sub-baccalaureate sector with respect to 
enrollment and completion for poor and otherwise disadvantaged students.
