Students Highest Risk: Federal Pell Recipients, O’Bannon and High Levels of Unmet Financial Need In Fall 2013 there were 244 FT, FT Resident Beginners Receiving Pell Grants and O’Bannon Only with Levels of Unmet Need Greater than $8,000 One-Year Retention was 45% 12

Data-Supported Conclusions Students receiving Pell and O’Bannon may benefit from institutional aid plus programming Low income students (with low EFCs) but ineligible for Pell are not as high risk as Pell recipients Federal Pell recipients with O’Bannon and high levels of unmet financial need seem highest risk for attrition Federal Pell recipients with O’Bannon and unmet financial need levels above $8,000 may be a group to consider for institutional aid. Implementing an institutional grant that targets this cross-section of Federal Pell Grant and Indiana State O’Bannon Grant recipients (who are not currently linked to IUPUI retention programming) would create a win-win scenario for all. 14
