2021 Award Recipient


Educational and Labor Market Outcomes of Place-Based Scholarship Programs: Evidence from the Denver Scholarship Foundation

Date: 11/1/2021
foundation-1200x628
Principal Researchers: Hani Mansour and Brian Duncan

Unit: Department of Economics

Project Abstract: This project will evaluate the effects of a place-based scholarship program, administered by the Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF), on post-secondary educational and labor market outcomes. Eligibility for the DSF scholarships are based on residency, merit, and financial need. Administrative student records from DSF and Denver Public Schools will be used to establish eligibility and identify key socioeconomic student characteristics. These data will then be combined with college enrollment and completion data from the National Students Clearinghouse, and with labor market outcomes drawn from Colorado’s unemployment insurance system.
