Скачать или смотреть Rappaport Institute event: The Impact of the Adams Scholarship on Degree Attainment in Massachusetts

Joshua Goodman, Assistant Professor of Policy at Harvard Kennedy School discusses his recent research on Massachusetts' Adams Scholarship program on Nov. 13, 2012. The Adams Scholarship waives tuition at such colleges for high achievers and was intended to inspire student achievement while keeping high-performing scholars in Massachusetts. Goodman will address the surprising findings of the study—that winning the scholarship actually lowers a student's chances of graduating from college on time.

Representative Tom Sannicandro (D-Ashland), Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on Higher Education, will offer commentary on the findings and participate in discussion with the audience following the presentation.
