Crowding out or Helping out?: The Effect of Community College International Student Enrollment on Low-Income Student Access

• In Event: Money Moves and the Community College

Abstract

Despite a growing presence of international students in community colleges, existing research has yet to rigorously assess the effect of these students in a sector that has historically served local students. We explore whether international students take away spaces from low-income students and/or serve as an important source of revenue.
