Student Loan a Facor In College Graduation Rate? 2016 IPEDS data

Graduation Rate for Grant Recipient is lower than that of Loan-only Recipient.

In the United States, there are various ways to finance college education. At the national level, there are Federal Pell grant and subsidized Stafford loan for needed students.

It is believed that with resources provided to help leveling the playground,needed students should have better chances to perform better. With the Graduation Rate survey component of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) provides a possible  measurement.

Beginning survey year 2016-17, the Graduation Rate survey includes measurements for students receiving Pell grant and Direct subsidized Stafford loan. The classification of students are based on the supports they received the first time they enrolled enrolled in the college. Even though, the data could not provide clear answer to questions, the results are worth pondering. Please referring to IPEDS survey description for a full description of the variables.

* 
The first look at the data is interesting. The first chart below shows the graduation rate for 4 year public institutions for each state with the x-axis represents the rate for the (Pell) Grant recipients and the y-axis represents the rate for (Direct Subsidized Stafford) loan-only recipients. Each point in the chart represents a state. One thing stand out is that, for almost all States, the loan-only rate is higher than grant-recipient rate.As explained my colleague and few articles on the internet, grants are usually went to the most needed students first. With the hardship level in mind, the differences in graduation rates may be explained.

The second chart below shows the same thing as the first chart except for 4 year private not for profit institutions.

The third chart below shows that same thing as the two above, except for 2 year public institutions.

We know what we see, but it's worth to dig deeper into the data.

A data release concerning educational population migrated between states in the United States of America. The report is based on US census' ACS 5-year PUMS data for 2011-2007!

This is a data update of my previous article 'Brain Drain - 2015 ACS State Migration for Working Age'. The data presented here is based on US census' ACS 5-year PUMS data release that covers 2011 to 2007.

As mentioned in my other recent articles, even though these are data updates, but due to survey changes and re-structure of program codes, it takes a while to get data ready for release.

Since this is a data update of my forementioned article, please refer to that article for detailed description of data. Over here, I will simply summarize the type of data that are made available.

With this data release, reader can explorer the number of people that moved to your state per year from each other state. Reader can also explorer the education attainment level of these migrated population. On the reverse side, reader can also explore the number of people leave your state and move to each other state, again, with the education attainment status available. Finally, the net migration is made available with 90% margin of error presented, which provide a sense of confidence for the data.
