The government has attempted to ameliorate gaps in college access and success by providing need-based grants, but little evidence exists on the long-term impacts of such aid.We examine the effects of the Florida Student Access Grant (FSAG) using a regression-discontinuity strategy and exploiting the cut-off used to determine eligibility.We find grant eligibility had a positive effect on attendance, particularly at public four-year institutions.Moreover, FSAG increased the rate of credit accumulation and bachelor's degree completion within six years, with a 22 percent increase for students near the eligibility cutoff.The effects are robust to sensitivity analysis.
