The Impact of No-Loan Program Participation on First-Year Outcomes for Low-Income and First-Generation College Students

• In Event: The Student Debt Conundrum: Strategies to Reduce Financial Burden

Abstract

To combat financial pressures, colleges and universities have created no-loan programs for low-income students. The extant research on no-loan programs is largely inconclusive and typically focuses on student access and enrollment, but our proposal aims to evaluate the impact of the University of Florida’s no-loan program on post-enrollment outcomes.
