Students receiving financial aid pay different amounts for equivalent education and do so in different ways: Grants, which do not have to be repaid, loans, which are paid back in the future, and work-study, pay-as-you-go. We examine the effects of need-based aid independent of study ability on student outcomes – grade point average in particular-controlling for student background and attributes they had prior to college. We also analyze grades within colleges. The results suggest that students receiving need-based grants perform significantly better in college than those not receiving financial aid while those paying for college with loans perform significantly worse than students receiving other forms of aid.

Abstract

Students receiving financial aid pay different amounts for equivalent education and do so in different ways: Grants, which do not have to be repaid, loans, which are paid back in the future, and work-study, pay-as-you-go. We examine the effects of need-based aid independent of study ability on student outcomes – grade point average in particular-controlling for student background and attributes they had prior to college. We also analyze grades within colleges. The results suggest that students receiving need-based grants perform significantly better in college than those not receiving financial aid while those paying for college with loans perform significantly worse than students receiving other forms of aid.
