Qualifying for the scholarship of up to $5,000 per 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 4 years (22%), although scholarship receipt does not impact graduation from 2-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.  \nKeywords: place-based scholarships, higher education, college persistence, program evaluation  \nIntroduction  \nOver the past three decades, published “sticker” prices of college have increased faster than inflation in all sectors of higher education. For example, from 1991 to 2021, average list tuition and fees to attend a public, 4-year institution increased 158%(from $4,160 to $10,740 annually) . Such trends have fueled the perception that the United States is facing a crisis of college affordability (Heinrich, 2017), especially for students not from high-income backgrounds. In addition to the rise of college sticker prices, financial aid increased at a slower rate than list prices (Ma & Pender, 2021) and is a complex and uncertain process (Turner, 2018) that can hinder students’ ability to predict and access the aid that is available to them (Dynarski & Scott-Clayton, 2006) . For example, under the current system, students do not knowhow much they will have to pay out of pocket to attend a given college until they have applied for both admission and financial aid and have received a financial aid package from that school. Place-based financial aid programs have the potential to impact students as they move into and through college and provide distinct and clearly articulated financial support to students and their families.  \nPlace-based financial aid programs have grown in prevalence throughout the United States over the last two decades. The programs vary on several dimensions, including qualification criteria, financial generosity, 1 and flexibility. They generally seek to support college enrollment, affordability, and success among students who attend and graduate from secondary school in a designated district or other geographically defined area. In addition to financial aid, some also provide coaching and other support services (e.g., help completing the FAFSA [Free Application for Federal Student Aid]) to guide students through the complexities of accessing and succeeding in college. In this way, place-based programs have the potential to affect students’journeys into and through college in numerous ways: encouraging application for college and financial aid; facilitating enrollment, persistence, and success through support services; and increasing college affordability and reducing student debt through direct financial support.  \nIn this article, we report on the implementation and impact of a place-based college scholarship and associated student supports provided by Achieve Atlanta (AATL), a nonprofit organization fou","cbCaioS4l7u6BUGv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioS4l7u6BUGv","pdf",920155,"English","# Introduction\n## Scholarship evaluation findings\n## Context: college affordability and financial aid uncertainty\n## Place-based financial aid program design and supports\n## Achieve Atlanta (AATL) scholarship and eligibility structure","[{\"question\":\"Does the Achieve Atlanta scholarship increase college enrollment for eligible students?\",\"answer\":\"No. Qualifying for the scholarship does not meaningfully change college enrollment among students near the high school GPA eligibility thresholds.\"},{\"question\":\"What effects does scholarship receipt have on college persistence and degree completion?\",\"answer\":\"Scholarship receipt has large and statistically significant effects on early college persistence (about 14%) that continue through BA degree completion within four years (about 22%).\"},{\"question\":\"Why might the program’s selection criteria lead to different outcomes across students?\",\"answer\":\"The article argues that the selection criteria and processes of place-based programs aimed at economically disadvantaged students may influence results for different types of students.\"}]","Assessing Atlanta’s Placed-Based College Scholarship - Article | PDF",1792069250,48]
