Optimal Financial Aid Policies for a Selective University.

Ehrenberg, Ronald G.; Sherman, Daniel R.

Journal of Human Resources, v19 n2 p202-30 Spr 1984

The model implies that the financial aid package to be offered to each category of admitted applicants depends on the elasticity of the fraction who accept offers of admission with respect to the financial aid package offered them.
