Abstract: This paper studies the impact of state funded higher education scholarship plans on interstate migrationpatterns of college educated individuals between 1980 and 2009. We find that these plans increase thein-state enrollment rate, but have no positive impact on the subsequent number of graduates. While aggregatemigration trends remain unaffected as a result of these plans, we find the out-migration rate of youngcollege educated individuals decreases 3 to 5 years after the adoption of a plan, but this effect is counteredby an increase in the out-migration of older college educated adults in later years.
