Abstract

Promise programs, or place-based tuition-free college policies, have become increasingly popular among policymakers looking to expand postsecondary attainment. In this article, we examine Tulsa Achieves, a widespread, albeit understudied type of promise program that covers the balance of students’ tuition and fees after other aid is exhausted at a single community college. Utilizing a difference-in-differences and event-study design, we investigate the role Tulsa Achieves eligibility plays in promoting or hindering vertical transfer and bachelor's degree attainment across racial/ethnic groups. We find that Tulsa Achieves eligibility is associated with increases in bachelor's degree attainment within 5 years among Native American and Hispanic students and an increased likelihood of transfer within 4 years for Hispanic students.
免费社区大学能缩小高等教育中的种族差异吗?塔尔萨的成就如何影响少数族裔学生的成绩
承诺项目,或基于地点的免学费大学政策,在寻求扩大高等教育成就的政策制定者中越来越受欢迎。在本文中,我们研究了塔尔萨成就,这是一种广泛存在的,尽管研究不足的承诺项目,它涵盖了学生在一所社区大学用尽其他资助后的学费和杂费余额。利用差异中的差异和事件研究设计,我们调查了塔尔萨成就资格在促进或阻碍跨种族/族裔群体的垂直转移和学士学位获得方面所起的作用。我们发现,土着美洲人和西班牙裔学生在5年内获得学士学位的可能性增加,以及西班牙裔学生在4年内转学的可能性增加,与塔尔萨成就资格有关。
