Levine, Phillip B.; Ma, Jennifer; Russell, Lauren C. – Education Finance and Policy, 2023
Do students respond to sticker prices or actual prices when applying to college? These costs differ for students eligible for financial aid. Students who do not understand this may not apply to some colleges because of the perceived high cost. We test for this form of "sticker shock" using College Board data on SAT scores sent, as a…

Smith, Jonathan; Howell, Jessica; Hurwitz, Michael – Education Finance and Policy, 2022

Liu, Vivian Yuen Ting – Education Finance and Policy, 2020
Despite having been the largest source of financial aid to low-income college students in the United States, the traditional Pell Grant had one major limitation: If students enrolled in two semesters full-time, they would not have had any tuition support for the summer term of the same academic year. The year-round Pell (YRP) was implemented in…
