Explanatory variables were biological sex, age, frequency shopping, classification, Pell Grant eligibility, college, athlete status, citizenship, residency, ethnicity/race, honors, first-generation status. The analysis included two-sample t-test, logistic multiple regression, least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO). There was no difference (t(921.8) 0.518, p 0.60) cumulative GPA PSs (M 3.001 [0.808]) non-pantry (NPSs) 3.016 [0.874]). In fall term, 3.018 [1.012] earned higher (t(581.69) −2.235, 0.03) than NPSs 2.919 [1.123]). Pantry achieved success despite exhibiting risk factors FI, including being female financial need.
