Student aid and its role in encouraging persistence (2009, methodology): “In a singleinstitution study, DesJardins et al. (2002) report that merit aid has one of the largest effects on student persistence but that the effects diminish after the first 2 years.”
What Higher Education Has to Say about the Transition to College (2007, methodology): “Another recent improvement to the literature is the appearance of studies using event history analysis (e.g., DesJardins et al., 2002; DesJardins, McCall, Ahlburg, & Moye, 2002; Ishitani & DesJardins, 2002), which reflect the conceptualization of the transition to college as a longitudinal process.”
Reducing Income Inequality in Educational Attainment: Experimental Evidence on the Impact of Financial Aid on College Completion1 (2016, background): “…crystallizeda specific set of ambitions for higher education policy, aiming to reduce class stratification by facilitating college opportunities for the children of low-income families to obtain college degrees ðKerr et al. 1960; Parsons 1970; Treiman 1970; Goldrick-Rab, Schudde, and Stampen 2014Þ.”

Financial Aid and Student Dropout in Higher Education: A Heterogeneous Research Approach (2008, background): “More recently, event history modeling has been introduced to consider the temporal nature of student departure (Chen & DesJardins, in press; DesJardins et al., 1999; DesJardins et al., 2002a; Ishitani & DesJardins, 2003).”
How Financial Aid Affects Persistence (2004, background): “…increase while completion rates do not, both policymakers and researchers have begun focusing more heavily on indicators of student retention (e.g., DesJardins, Ahlburg, and McCall 1999; St. John, Hu, and Tuttle 2000; St. John, Hu, and Weber 2000), and the relationship between financial need and…”
