Previous research has shown that specific state financial aid policies have adverse effects on African American and Hispanic enrollment at certain types of public higher education institutions. This study expands on previous studies by examining the effects of state financial aid policies on African American, Hispanic, and low SES student enrollment across different types of public higher education institutions over time. This study employed multi-level modeling to analyze the relationship using longitudinal data from every even year over an 8 year period for 1,523 public higher education institutions across 49 states. The findings show a significant positive relationship between the amount of need-based aid per full time enrollment (FTE) and African American enrollment over time. The findings also show a significant positive relationship between the amount of need-based aid per FTE and low SES enrollment over time, and between the percent of aid allocated to merit-based programs and low SES enrollment over time. In addition to the specific financial aid predictors, this study also finds significant positive relationships between non-HBCUs and African American enrollment over time, university size and Hispanic enrollment over time, HBCUs versus non-HBCUs and Hispanic enrollment over time, 4-year schools versus 2-year schools and Hispanic enrollment over time, total financial aid per FTE and low SES enrollment, university size and low SES enrollment over time, and 4-year schools versus 2-year schools and low SES enrollment over time. The study reveals significant negative relationships between HBCUs and African American enrollment over time, and net tuition and low SES enrollment. The findings suggest that stakeholders and policymakers need to understand that the amount of funds allocated for merit-based aid or the percent of funds allocated to merit-based aid versus needbased aid neither helps nor hinders college enrollment for under-represented minority groups or low SES groups. There may be other reasons to argue for allocating more or less funds to merit-based programs, but helping or hindering URM and low SES college enrollment is not one of them. Also stakeholder and policymakers need to consider that states that award large amount of need-based aid per FTE ($900 per year) over a sustained period (5 years) see a 3.3% greater college enrollment of African Americans versus states that award no needbased aid. Finally, stakeholders and policymakers need to take into account when establishing financial aid policies that increasing the amount of financial aid per FTE increases low SES enrollment, but increasing average tuition in the state decreases low SES enrollment.
