Work-Study Students More Likely to Graduate - Inside Higher Ed

Students who participate in the federal work-study program are more likely to graduate and be employed six years after college than their similar counterparts who don’t participate in the program, according to a new study. Two Columbia University researchers, Judith Scott-Clayton and Veronica Minaya, examined the impact of work-study jobs on students’ academic and future employment outcomes compared to students working in non-work-study jobs and those not working at all. http://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2014/07/29/report-work-study-students-more-likely-graduate#sthash.QyEI5kND.dpbs
