Date:2002
Organization:
Short Description:Reviews trends related to financial access, develops a conceptual model that incorporates both the academic and economic explanations for access, and uses the model to reexamine NCES’ analyses of enrollment behavior by college-qualified students.
Annotation:The gap in college participation rates between low-income and high-income students and between minorities and Whites has grown increasingly wider since 1980, creating new levels of inequality in college access. This paper reviews trends related to financial access, develops a conceptual model that incorporates both the academic and economic explanations for access, and uses the model to reexamine NCES’ analyses of enrollment behavior by college-qualified students in the high school class of 1992.
