Abstract: The Pell Grant Experiments
evaluation is a two-part, seven-year
demonstration study sponsored by the
U.S. Department of Education that
focuses on the effects of expanded
access to Pell grants on students’
educational outcomes, employment and
earnings. The primary outcome of
interest is (1) educational enrollment
and completion, and (2) measures of
student debt and financial aid while
secondary outcomes include (3) the
employment status and earnings of
students who participate in the study.
This study consists of two
experiments, each of which will
examine the impact of a single change
to the Pell grant eligibility criteria. The
first experiment will relax the
prohibition on receipt of Pell grants by
students with a bachelors’ degree.
Individuals eligible for the first
experiment must have a bachelor’s
degree, be unemployed or
underemployed, and pursue a
vocational training program up to one
year in duration. The second
experiment will reduce the minimum
duration and intensity levels of
programs that Pell grant recipients must
participate in from 15 weeks with 600
minimum clock hours to 8 weeks with
150 minimum clock hours. Each
experiment will operate through a set of
PGE schools that provide education and
training services that qualify as PGE
programs.
Participants in both experiments will
be randomly assigned to either (1) a
treatment group, which will have
expanded access to Pell grants; or (2) a
control group, which will not have
access. Within both experiments, the
treatment group will be very similar to
the control at the time of random
assignment except for access to Pell
grants. Subsequent differences in the
employment and earnings outcomes
between treatment and control group
members can then be attributed to Pell
grant access. The first experiment will
involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an
average of 25 students participating per
school. The second experiment will
involve roughly 27 PGE schools with an
average of 100 participating students per
school. The expected sample of both
experiments combined is approximately
3,375 students. Data for this evaluation
will come from participants’ FAFSA
applications, PGE school administrative
records, and SSA earnings statements.
The study participant enrollment period

is expected to last from November 2012

PGE schools will occur between January
and March during years 2015–2018.
