We exploit the fact that not all eligible students receive financial aid due to limited resources to generate a treatment and a control group. Using this partition, we estimate the average treatment effect, i.e. the average effect on low income students, controlling for a set of observable characteristics by running regressions on blocks defined on the propensity score. Results point towards a sizeable effect of grants in reducing dropping out from higher education: around one third of these students would have left university in the first year in absence of the grants. This evidence is robust to a variety of specifications and sample selection criteria. JEL Classification:I22, I23, C21, C35

“…Focusing on different case-studies, Clerici et al (2014) highlight that determinants of academic careers differ across the fields of study and Carrieri et al (2015) find that a stronger selection at entrance considerably reduces dropout risks. Indirect evidence of the role of family income is provided by a small literature analyzing the impact of various forms of scholarships and financial aid for lowincome students, showing that income support favors study progression and degree completion (Mealli and Rampichini 2012, Azzolini et al 2018, Vergolini and Zanini 2015. Only few contributions focus on time to degree.…”
