Description
The Ray Marshall Center entered into an agreement with the San Antonio Education Partnership to conduct an impact analysis to answer four research questions, a description of the study population, data and methodology used, and a review of the existing research that attempts to answer similar questions about the relationship between grant aid and student outcomes. The four research questions are the following:
- What is the effect of receiving an SAEP scholarship on:
- college enrollment in the first, second, third, and fourth year after high school, respectively;
- degree completion (for Associate’s and Baccalaureate degrees) at 100%, 150%, and 200% of the expected time from college entry, respectively;
- graduate degree obtainment by year ten; and
- student debt.
- How do effect sizes vary by the type of higher education institution (community college, private four-year college, public four-year college) enrolled in?
- How do effect sizes vary by high school academic preparation (e.g., coursework, test score)?
- How do effect sizes vary by student social subgroups (defined by gender, race/ethnicity, income level, first-generation status)?
