Abstract

Most metropolitan universities have available certain amounts of discretionary student funds. Readily available institutional data on student matriculation can be analyzed with a personal computer and inexpensive software. Using these resources, university administrators can study the impact of the various strategies for allocating financial aid funds on student attendance and persistence.
