TY - JOUR T1 - Impacts of State Aid for Nontraditional Students on Educational and Labor Market Outcomes JF - Journal of Human Resources JO - J Hum Resour SP - 241 LP - 271 DO - 10.3368/jhr.57.1.0618-9570R2 VL - 57 IS - 1 AU - Oded Gurantz Y1 - 2022/01/01 UR - http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/57/1/241.abstract N2 - Up to three-fourths of college students can be classified as “nontraditional,” yet whether typical policy interventions improve their education and labor market outcomes is understudied. I use a regression discontinuity design to estimate the impacts of a state financial aid program aimed towards nontraditional students. Eligibility has no impacts on degree completion for students intending to enroll in community colleges or four-year colleges but increases bachelor’s degrees for students interested in large, for-profit colleges by four percentage points. I find no impacts on employment or earnings for all applicants. This research highlights challenges in promoting human capital investment for adults.. ER -
