The Impact of the Adams Scholarship in Degree Attainment in Massachusetts
Joshua Goodman, Assistant Professor of
Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
Respondent: Rep. Tom Sannicandro,
(D-Ashland), Chair of the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint
Committee on Higher Education
Goodman will discuss his recent research on the state’s Adams
Scholarship program, which waives tuition at such colleges for high
achievers and was intended to inspire student achievement while
keeping high-performing scholars in Massachusetts. He also 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 will offer commentary on the
findings and participate in discussion with the audience following
the presentation.
