Are The Right Students Receiving Need Based Federal Student Financial Aid

Abstract

Students at a college or university who receive need-based financial aid, receive a tremendous financial resource compared to those students who do not receive need based financial aid. A sample of 100 students from various backgrounds and skills were surveyed. The survey asked questions of the two student groups: received need based financial aid group and non-need based financial aid group. The overall questions were intended to identify specific traits and measures of the students performance.
