ProPelled: The Effects of Grants on Graduation and Earnings
Grant Type
Early Career Research Award
Description
We will explore the effect of additional grant aid for poor students on college graduation and post college earnings. We will exploit a sharp change in the generosity of grants for college students that varies with family income in a regression discontinuity framework. We will use administrative education and earnings data from Texas to explore the longer-term effects of grants. Further, we develop a sufficient statistic approach to assess whether the generosity of the grants should be increased.
