Abstract | Abstract Lisrel, a more versatile technique than traditional path analysis, was employed to account for 42% of the variance in the persistence of 343 new freshman financial aid recipients at a major urban university. Unlike recent persistence models, the specific model developed here highlights the impact of student finances—in particular, the amount of assistance from the programs of federal campus-based aid—on the persistence of freshmen with high financial need. The results indicate that financial need, student residency status, and noncampus-based loans and grants have direct effects on new freshman persistence regardless of the type or amount of campus-based aid awarded. The direct effect of each federal campus-based program on persistence was significant and positive. Implications for administrators and persistence researchers are discussed. |
