A study was conducted to determine what observed characteristics systematically relate to attrition from the lottery-funded HOPE Scholarship Program in Georgia. Data were drawn from freshmen who first matriculated in the summer or fall of 1996 from Georgia Tech. Findings indicate that there are not...

Data were drawn from freshmen who first matriculated in the summer or fall of 1996 from Georgia Tech. Findings indicate that there are not significant and remarkable differentials by the race or ethnicity of students. However, findings also suggest that, among HOPE students, there may be significant horizontal inequities regarding retention of the scholarship. More specifically, these estimations suggest that there are big, robust, and statistically important links between students' courses of study and their success at retaining HOPE Scholarships. In particular, students in the sciences, engineering, and computing are 21-51 percent more likely to lose their scholarship than similarly qualified students in other disciplines. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
