虽然美国的高等教育跨越了近四个世纪，但少数民族学生仍然难以进入高等教育机构，特别是在研究生和专业水平。根据我们在2002年和2003年收集的调查数据，我们研究了暑期研究机会计划的参与者在决定是否攻读研究生学位时所考虑的财务因素。我们发现，来自高收入阶层的参与者比来自低收入到中等收入阶层的学生更有可能容忍不太有利的研究生院经济援助计划，这表明如果没有提供有竞争力的经济援助计划，低收入学生不太可能追求研究生学习。
Although higher education in the United States spans nearly four centuries, minority students continue to struggle to gain access to institutions of higher education, particularly at the graduate and professional levels. Based on survey data we collected in 2002 and 2003, we examined the financial considerations that Summer Research Opportunities Program participants took into account when deciding whether or not to pursue graduate degrees. We found that the participants from higher income brackets were more likely to tolerate a less favorable graduate school financial aid package than students from low- to middle-income brackets, which suggests that lower-income students are less likely to pursue graduate study if they are not offered competitive financial aid packages.
