Are Pell Grants worth the investment?
According to an in-depth research study recently published byTuan Nguyen, K-State College of 1xbet online games login assistant professor, the answer is yes.
1xbet online games login co-authored the journal article"Monetary Substitution of Loans, Earnings, and Need-based Aid in Postsecondary 1xbet online games login : The impact of Pell Grant Eligibility"with his former graduate school advisor, Brent J. Evans, assistant professor of public policy and higher 1xbet online games login at Vanderbilt University.
The article appears in the Economics of 1xbet online games login Review and is currently available online. The journal publishes research on 1xbet online games login policy and finance, human capital production and acquisitions, and the returns to human capital.
"We are very excited this paper has been published as it provides consistent and causal evidence of the effects of an important federal policy, the Pell 1xbet online games login , on postsecondary outcomes, and it examines somepotential mechanisms for these effects viathe substitution of work and loans from the increased grant aid," 1xbet online games login said.
1xbet online games login said the study of the Pell Grant is of great interest to policymakers and researchers because until recently there has not been rigorous evidence of its effects and effectiveness in student persistence and academic outcomes.This new study provides strong causal evidence that Pell Grant eligibility provides students with additional grant aid, particularly at four-year institutions.
The researchers discovered that the Pell Grantleads to an increase in GPA for men and a within-year persistence of 2 to 3 percentage points for women.
"Our evidence suggests that grant aid in general, and Pell Grant specifically, does help students persist or perform better academically," 1xbet online games login said. "As such, we've determined it is a valuable tool, worthy of continued public and private investment."
