Impacts of State Aid for Non-Traditional Students. CEPA Working Paper No. 18-19
Gurantz, Oded
Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis
Do tuition vouchers and cash subsidies promote educational or labor force outcomes for "non-traditional" students? I use a regression discontinuity design to estimate the impacts of a state aid program with an unobserved eligibility cutoff. Eligibility has no impact on degree completion for students with a preference for community colleges or four-year colleges but increases bachelor's degrees for students interested in for-profit colleges by four percentage points. I find no impact on employment or earnings for all applicants. This research highlights challenges in promoting human capital investment for adults.
