Year-round Pell Grants were recently reinstated, having previously been implemented for the 2009-2010 and 2010-11 academic years. A timely working paper released by the Community College Research Center at Columbia University examines the effect of year-round Pell Grants on the likelihood of completing an associate degree.
In the paper, author Vivien Yuen Ting Liu uses a difference-in-difference model to examine credit, credential completion and labor market outcomes for year-round Pell. According to the findings, for every $1,000 of year-round Pell Grant funding per eligible student, the likelihood of summer enrollment increases by 27 percentage points and the likelihood of associate degree completion increases by 2.2 percentage points.
