Designed to bridge the gap between available financial aid and actual education costs and to provide financial incentive for academic achievement, Louisiana’s Opening Doors program awards performance-based scholarships to low-income students. These awards are supplemental to traditional forms of financial aid and contingent on the student maintaining a 2.0 GPA for the semester the award is granted. This evaluation reports out on early outcomes of the program, comparing the progress and performance of qualifying students who were randomly assigned to receive Opening Doors scholarships and counseling against those receiving only traditional financial aid and counseling.
