Abstract

The purpose of this study is to decide what effect the reduction of Federal Financial Aid Programs will have on career aspirations of freshmen students at Prairie View A&M University. This hypothesis will be tested through the research of this study. The problem to be answered here is, whether or not, students who may have their educational loans or grants reduced or terminated, will have viable career alternatives, should it become necessary to leave school.

It is assumed that a majority of the freshmen students at Prairie View A&M University are receiving some form of governmental financial assistance. It is further assumed that the cases chosen to study, will agree to participate in the survey.
