Abstract: This paper attempts to study the mid- and long-term economic effects that merit-based scholarship programs have on students and the labor market in terms of education and income. Using empirical methodology that was originally used in Medicaid expansion literature, I construct “simulated eligibility” and use this in three different reduced form regressions. I find that shifting from the government providing no financial assistance to providing full assistance results in an ambiguous effect on total personal income, an approximate 4% increase in people with at least some college education, and close to no effect on graduation rates.
