Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We investigate whether and how
Achieve Atlanta’s college scholarship and associated services impact college
enrollment, persistence, and graduation among Atlanta Public School graduates
experiencing low household income. Qualifying for the scholarship of up to
$5,000/year does not meaningfully change college enrollment among those near
the high school GPA eligibility thresholds. However, scholarship receipt does
have large and statistically significant effects on early college persistence
(i.e., 14%) that continue through BA degree completion within four years (22%),
although scholarship receipt does not impact graduation from two-year colleges.
We discuss how the selection criteria and processes of place-based programs
intended for those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds may influence
results for different types of students.
