Aid-Related Retention Analysis
Customized retention analysis can help clients muster the institutional seriousness required for retention monitoring, problem identification, and intervention. Hardwick-Day has developed an aid-related retention analysis to illustrate who stays at a college or university and who leaves, to help campus leaders understand the relationship between retention and aid, and to identify what aid or programmatic interventions could improve student persistence and success.
